Slot: Don't expect Isak to play 90 minutes every week (2:17)

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has called for patience when it comes to Alexander Isak due to the striker's lack of preseason with Newcastle. (2:17)

The international break is over and it's finally time for the Premier League to make its long-awaited return.

The likes of Alexander Isak, Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons are set to wear their new colours for the first time but how long their supporters' goodwill lasts is dependent on results.

Manchester United newboy Senne Lammens cannot afford to make an early mistake given the uncertainty that has surrounded Ruben Amorim's goalkeeping options of late. But he will have to wait to make his United bow after Amorim confirmed Altay Bayindir will start in goal in the Manchester derby.

Elsewhere, Eberechi Eze is set to make his first Emirates appearance as an Arsenal player after making his debut in the team's narrow defeat at Anfield while Gianluigi Donnarumma is set for a battle with James Trafford for a starting spot between the sticks at Manchester City.

There's also a new face in the dugout at Nottingham Forest with Ange Postecoglou making his return to the Premier League.

He was on form at his unveiling on Thursday, revealing that he knew he was set for the sack at Tottenham Hotspur before their Europa League triumph and that he believes he can fulfil Evangelos Marinakis' hopes of bringing trophies to the City Ground.

Speaking of Spurs, Thomas Frank admitted he didn't expect Daniel Levy's shock exit from the north London club during the international break.
