The hopes of thousands are pinned on United's reaction to the arrival of new manager Ruben Amorim!

The Premier League returns!

As Mark Schwarzer, Phil Kitromilides and Julien Laurens pick through this weekend of football action, their six plus millions of other eyeballs will be on Portman Road as Manchester United turn out against Ipwsich, under the guidance of new gaffer Ruben Amorim for the first time. The lads hypothesise how the Red Devils will react, particularly with how poor they gave been on the road this season.

Phil has a giddy excitement to see his Spurs take on Manchester City. Why? Because of their sequence of LOSS-WIN-LOSS-WIN-LOSS in their past string of matches - which means that, OBVIOUSLY, this week will be a win, and a big one!

Mark, meanwhile, has his eyes on St. Mary's Stadium as Liverpool take a visit - and they may have a big say in the immediate future of the club!
