WHAT’S NEW: Another season, another coach in the shape of Mauricio Pellegrino. The Argentine is looking to use a variation of a 4-2-3-1 to bring more goals from Charlie Austin and Manolo Gabbiadini.

BIG SIGNING: Defender Jan Bednarek has arrived and Lazio’s Wesley Hoedt is a target as Virgil van Dijk’s potential £60m departure casts a long shadow and could signal a late transfer flurry for Pellegrino.

BOOKIES SAY: Safe bet for halfway. WE SAY: Pellegrino is naturally cautious but that should serve them well. SPENT £5m Players in: 1 Received: £12.2m
