Aug 15, 2025

Welcome to the first episode of the 2025-26 season viewing platform.



Premier League Liverpool vs. Bournemouth

The two teams have met 24 times in history, with Liverpool holding the upper hand with 19 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses. Bournemouth have won all five of their last five matches, and in last season's Premier League, they scored five goals and kept a clean sheet. At Anfield, Liverpool are unbeaten in 11 matches against Bournemouth, with 10 wins and one draw. Last weekend, Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace in the Community Shield, missing out on the title. This match marks the opening match of the 2025-26 Premier League season. After securing the Premier League title early last season, the defending champions, Liverpool, have gone four games without a win.

Thus, Liverpool desperately needs a victory to get the new season off to a strong start. In this match, Liverpool's defensive midfielder Gravenberch is suspended, while Bradley and Gomez are out due to injury. Wirtz, Ekitik, Frimpong, and Kerkazy are expected to make their Premier League debuts for their new teams. Last season's Premier League Golden Boot winner, Salah, who holds the record for most Premier League goals in a first-round match (9 goals), remains highly anticipated. Bournemouth, however, faces injuries to Sinisterra, Cook, Christie, Unard, and Kluivert. Three summer transfer signings, Diakite, Petrovic, and Truffel, are expected to make their debuts. Semenyo and Evanilsson are the team's main scoring options.



Premier League Wolves vs. Manchester City

The two teams have met 131 times in history, with Manchester City boasting 56 wins, 26 draws, and 49 losses. Wolves have won all three of their last three matches, and have a dominant record of 9 wins and 1 loss in the past 10. Wolves' friendly results this summer have been dismal, with three losses in all. Including the final stretch of last season, they've gone eight games without a win, including four consecutive league matches without a win. Manchester City, having taken a break after this summer's Club World Cup, played only one friendly match before the Premier League began. Therefore, after almost 40 days of relaxation, Manchester City's immediate Premier League debut is uncertain.

In this match, Wolves forwards Lopez, Arias, and Wolff are expected to make their debuts. Following Cunha's departure, Larsson, who performed well last season and was officially bought out during the summer transfer window, will be highly anticipated. Manchester City, with Rodri out due to injury, is also expected to make their Premier League debuts, with new signings Reinders and Cherki already making their debuts at the Club World Cup. Offensively, Haaland may be the team's only reliable striker, as winter transfer Marmus has yet to find his Bundesliga form.



La Liga Mallorca vs. Barcelona

The two teams have met 75 times in history, with Barcelona boasting 46 wins, 12 draws, and 17 losses. They achieved a double victory over Mallorca last season and have a record of 16 wins and two draws in the past 18 meetings. As the first match of the new season, defending champions Barcelona are aiming for a strong start. They have won all four friendly matches this summer and have scored 10 goals in their last two matches.


In this match, Mallorca's former Barcelona signing, Torre, is expected to make his debut for his former club. Barcelona faces injuries to Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Dani Rodriguez, and Robert Lewandowski, while new signings Joan García and Marcus Rashford are currently unavailable. Whether they can play depends on the club's swift action. If they are unable to play, Barcelona will likely continue to rely on last season's key players, Amal and Rafinha, on offense.



DFL-Super Cup Stuttgart vs. Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich defeated Stuttgart twice in the Bundesliga last season and have only lost once in the last 12 meetings. Last season, Stuttgart won the German Cup and Bayern Munich the Bundesliga title. The two teams will face off in the first official match of the new season for the German Super Cup. Last year, Stuttgart participated in the German Super Cup for only the second time in their history but ultimately lost. This year, they are pursuing their second title in the tournament. Bayern Munich, returning to the German Super Cup after a two-year absence, are aiming for their 11th title. Earlier, Bayern Munich demonstrated excellent form by sweeping Tottenham 4-0 in a friendly match. In this match, new Stuttgart players Arsinion, Jovanovic, Andreas, and Dalvíci are all expected to make their debuts. Offensively, Ondav, Waltmade, and Demirovic are key scoring options for the team, combining for 47 goals last season. For Bayern, Dias and Jonathan Tah are expected to make their debuts, and the forward pairing of the former with Kane and Oliseh is highly anticipated.



Premier League Chelsea vs. Crystal Palace

The two teams have met 63 times in history, with Chelsea winning 35, drawing 17, and losing 11. Of these, Crystal Palace has 16 wins and two draws in the past 18 games. The only two draws came last season, when both teams drew 1-1 in the Premier League. Both teams won major accolades this summer. Chelsea won the new Club World Cup and is currently on a roll, aiming for the Premier League title in the new season, while Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool to win their first Community Shield. Chelsea striker Jacson is suspended for this match, while Colwell is out injured. Summer transfer signings Gittens, Harto, Estebão, and Essougo are expected to make their debuts for their new clubs. Joao Pedro, who shone at the Club World Cup, will be the Blues' attacking force this season. Neto and Palmer are also key scoring options. Crystal Palace is out injured, with Riyad, Doucoure, Camada, Francha, and Nketiah. Key players Gueye and Eze are both facing transfers, and their absence will have a significant impact on the team.



Premier League Manchester United vs. Arsenal

The two teams have met 243 times in history, with Manchester United holding the upper hand with 99 wins, 55 draws, and 89 losses. Last season, they only drew two and lost one of their three matches against Arsenal (a penalty shootout win counts as a draw), and have drawn two and lost four of their previous six matches without a win. Over the past two seasons, Manchester United has been unable to defeat Arsenal at home, achieving only one draw and one loss.

This summer, Manchester United has remained unbeaten in friendly matches since July, demonstrating excellent form. Arsenal lost two of their five friendly matches. This season, Manchester United's league goal is to secure a top-four finish. After last season's humiliating 15th-place finish, they need a strong season to boost their spirits. As for Arsenal, after three consecutive Premier League runner-up finishes, they are eager to become Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years. Therefore, both teams are hoping for a strong start. In this game, Manchester United goalkeeper Onana and Lima will be absent due to injury. Three new summer signings, Sheshko, M'Boumei and Cunha are expected to start together. They cost the team 225 million euros and are expected to form a quartet with B Fee. Their performance will most likely determine whether the team can get points against Arsenal. For Arsenal, Jesus and Calafiori will be absent due to injury. Subimendi, Dzekereş, Madueke, Mosquela and Nergaard are all expected to make their Gunners debut, especially Dzekereş and Madueke. The forward line formed by the two of them and Saka will be the key to the team's victory.
