Jose Mourinho has hit out at his medical team for going on to the pitch without knowing the extent of an injury to Eden Hazard, accusing his staff of potentially costing Chelsea a late goal. His side were temporarily reduced to nine men during the closing stages of the Barclays Premier League match after Hazard received medical attention from doctor Eva Carneiro. Club doctor Carniero immediately dashed on to the pitch to treat Hazard but Mourinho insisted the medic made the wrong decision.
Arsene Wenger has been given the all clear to break Arsenal's transfer record to land Karim Benzema. And the Gunners are also willing to eclipse current record signing Mesut Ozil's £150,000-per-week wages to land their No 1 target. Wenger is desperate to land Benzema this summer, believing the Real Madrid striker is the final piece in the jigsaw that would turn his side into genuine title contenders.
Chelsea have not strengthened yet. Man United are mired in uncertainty over David de Gea and Manchester City are at a crossroads. And so the stage should be set for Arsenal.
Louis van Gaal has challenged Real Madrid to match Manchester United's £35million valuation of David de Gea as the Spaniards prepare to bid for the goalkeeper this week.
England captain Alastair Cook said his team's thumping Ashes triumph was a complete surprise while Trent Bridge hero Stuart Broad set his sights on helping his side become No 1 in the world.
TIM ABRAHAM: The security of a new contract as Manchester City manager has done nothing to ease the pressure on Manuel Pellegrini - according to the man himself.
Brendan Rodgers has been backed by Liverpool's board - but told in no uncertain terms they expect the team to 'make fans feel proud' after last season's disappointment.
CHELSEA 2-2 SWANSEA - SAMI MOKBEL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: It's far too early to start conclusion jumping. Anyway, it's not in Jose Mourinho's style. But, if the Chelsea manager needed reminding of how difficult it will be to retain their title crown, he's had it. In the end, the champions started their campaign with a 2-2 draw at home to Swansea. However, the fact Garry Monk's side left Stamford Bridge bitterly disappointed not have won tells you everything.
Floyd Mayweather's flamboyant lifestyle shows no signs of letting up after the outspoken boxer posted a picture of himself packing 'light' for an upcoming trip.
Chelsea began their title defence with a 2-2 draw against Swansea at Stamford Bridge. Sportsmail's Kieran Gill rates the players from both teams.
Speculation surrounding John Stones is still rife and former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer reckons that a move to Chelsea would be 'fantastic,' as he would get to learn from John Terry.
OLIVER HOLT: There are words that Richard Scudamore does not like. 'Legacy' is one. 'I hate it,' the Premier League's chief executive and executive chairman says. And then, there is the G-word. Greed.
Arsenal are one of only three Premier League clubs alongside West Ham and Leicester to raise ticket prices this season despite already having the most expensive seats.
The 20 clubs starting this season's Premier League are worth a combined £8.4billion according to new valuations. Manchester United are worth more than £1.8bn and top the list.
OLIVER HOLT AT TRENT BRIDGE: A summer that began with England and their fans haunted by the braying ghosts of the past ended shortly before midday on Saturday with the recapture of the Ashes and the coronation of a team whose zest for cricket has taught the country to fall in love with the game again. Poor Nathan Lyon became the symbol of Australia's miserable failures when, 20 minutes before midday on an overcast morning by the River Trent, he dragged a ball from Mark Wood on to his stumps as he tried to leave it and sank to his haunches, alone in his despair.
INTERVIEW BY OLIVER HOLT: Stuart Broad hobbled across the outfield at Trent Bridge on Friday evening, his feet raw from bowling but his thoughts still soaring. The ground was empty and echoing now but one of the scoreboards shone in the gloom.
MIKE DICKSON: An emotional Alastair Cook basked in the glory of England's Ashes triumph only a year after his future at captain seemed in grave danger.
Somewhere deep inside Alastair Cook there must surely be a temptation to believe that this would be the perfect time to step down as England captain. It cannot get any better than this.
Michael Clarke is set to retire from cricket at the end of the Ashes. Clarke has cut a sorry figure during this tour will end in defeat after England regained the urn at Trent Bridge on Saturday.
England head coach Trevor Bayliss insisted there were no mixed emotions for him yesterday, but he stressed he would not be overdoing the celebrations in front of his countrymen.
Australia coach Darren Lehmann wants to make the most of an early Ashes finish by heading to the Britannia Stadium to watch Stoke City take on Liverpool.
MANCHESTER UNITED 1-0 TOTTENHAM - ROB DRAPER AT OLD TRAFFORD: At least it was better than this time last year. Then the bright, new dawn of Louis van Gaal's managerial reign ended with a 2-1 defeat by Swansea at Old Trafford. And on that day United were truly awful. On Saturday, they were merely ponderous and leggy. Nothing like a side who might challenge for the title, mind, but they were not terrible. And there were some genuine positives. Memphis Depay was sharp and enthusiastic, bringing much-needed pace and incision to United's forward line; Matteo Darmian's thrusting runs down the right will be a feature of the season, with Van Gaal awarding him the prize of best debutant on the day.
Louis van Gaal celebrated his birthday in style on Saturday by threatening to burst into a song at his post-match press conference with a short snippet of The Beatles 'When I'm 64'. Van Gaal, who was turning 64, started addressing the fact it was his birthday by saying: 'The Beatles have a song.'
CHRIS WHEELER AT OLD TRAFFORD: Juan Mata took centre stage as the curtain was raised on the new Premier League season at Old Trafford with a 1-0 victory over Tottenham.
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has maintained he wants to keep unsettled goalkeeper David de Gea despite dropping him from the team that defeated Tottenham on Saturday.
Phil Jones will miss at least three weeks of the new season after Manchester United announced that the England defender was suffering from 'mild thrombosis'.
There is nothing wrong with shutting up shop in football. No manager should be criticised for ensuring his defence is solid even if, at times, it means sacrificing your attacking flair. And sometimes, the best thing in football is simply to get to or beyond the 18-yard line and put in a cross. Both these facets can get lost in the modern game. No one values a passing team more than me; I always wanted my sides to play that way. But it is also true you have to adapt as a manager.
INTERVIEW BY LAURIE WHITWELL: Charlie Adam admits the result that made everyone blink in astonishment on the final day of last season remains on the lips of Stoke's players.
Leighton Baines is set to miss England's Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Switzerland after Roberto Martinez admitted he faces a lengthy lay-off.
Newcastle manager Steve McClaren has told Premier League defenders to be wary of £12.5million summer signing Aleksandar Mitrovic and his 'assassin's eyes'.
Marcelo Bielsa has resigned as Marseille manager just one match into the new season. OM began their Ligue 1 campaign with a 1-0 loss to Caen at the Stade Velodrome.
LEICESTER CITY 4-2 SUNDERLAND - LAURIE WHITWELL AT THE KING POWER STADIUM: The crisp suit and snappy hand signals looked just as they had 11 years ago, when Claudio Ranieri last bossed a Premier league touchline. This was also a result and performance like those he became accustomed to during that period at Chelsea. This was a comprehensive home win built on expansive attacking football, leaving opponents Sunderland beaten in play and spirit. How much of this startling result is owed to Nigel Pearson's foundations and how much to Sunderland's utterly dreadful defending, time will decide.
NORWICH CITY 1-3 CRYSTAL PALACE - MARTHA KELNER AT CARROW ROAD: Alex Neil had not even made his senior playing debut in 1998 when Alan Pardew began his first job in management.
DOMINIC KING AT GOODISON PARK: Arouna Kone rescued a point for Everton and denied Watford a winning return to the top flight after firing the hosts level four minutes from time.

German Cup holders Wolfsburg began its title defence with a 4-1 win at third-division Stuttgarter Kickers on Saturday, while Schalke and Bayer Leverkusen also progressed from the first round. Wolfsburg strikers Max Kruse and Bas Dost scored in the first half and Kevin de Bruyne made it 3-0 two minutes into the second.

David Edwards's winner on the stroke of half time proved decisive but replays show the ball may have come off his hand before hitting the back of the net.

And with fewer northern teams making up the Premier League than in any of the preceding 23 seasons, Magpies fans face an average return journey of 468.3 miles.

When Australia coach Michael Cheika arrived at the post-match news conference on Saturday you could have been forgiven for thinking his team had taken another beating at the hands of the All Blacks rather than sprung a major upset. Only nine months into his reign, Cheika had achieved what no other Wallabies coach had managed in the last four years by beating New Zealand and winning the Rugby Championship for the first time to boot. With another match against the world champions in Auckland next week and the World Cup little more than a month away, however, Cheika was not about to let his players get carried away with their 27-19 victory at the Olympic Stadium.
Stuart Lancaster has narrowed down his options out wide by dropping wingers Chris Ashton, Semesa Rokoduguni and Marland Yarde as part of a seven-man cull to England's World Cup squad.

MIKE KEEGAN: There is a view that when Liverpool came so close to winning the Premier League in 2013-14 it was down to a Scouse alignment of the stars. Forget the work of Brendan Rodgers, they had an on-fire Luis Suarez (signed by Kenny Dalglish), the miracle of an injury-free Daniel Sturridge, and no pesky midweek Euro trips to shift attention from their Stevie G led obsession with winning the trophy that matters the most at Anfield.
It has been a summer to make John Stones' head spin. He should ignore the noise, though, and stay right where is. The best place for him for the next two years is Everton.
Martin Keown answered YOUR questions ahead of the 2015-16 Premier League season. The Arsenal legend had his say on the title race and more.
