The fight, the blood, sweat and tears. Behind every Peter Drury commentary compilation & promo video ahead of the new season being shared online lay the excitement in anticipation of the new Premier League season. It’s time to put last season behind and focus on the new campaign; yet another one that promises to be exciting enough with its own thrills and spills and subplots.

Against that backdrop, Liverpool lined up against Bournemouth with fresh faces and fresh impetus from the dugout & renewed hope amongst the fans. But defending their Premier League title this season will not be easy.

Red banners were plentiful in the stands at Anfield, even more so to commemorate the memory of the late Liverpool forward Diogo Jota. The news of Jota and his brother Andre Silva dying in a car crash stunned the football world just a couple of months ago, so there would be moments of remembrance for the Portuguese striker and the club he called home in England.

Liverpool duly retired the number 20 jersey in honour of Jota and before the frantic game began, Anfield was in full song and later shed a few tears . . .
