Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has admitted last season's title defence was "unacceptable", but he believes the players "have an opportunity to turn it around" under new head coach Andoni Iraola. The Reds still qualified for Champions League football despite finishing fifth in the Premier League last season with 60 points. "We all know how tough it will be, but if you aren't up for the challenge then you aren't at the right place," Van Dijk said.
Bournemouth boss Marco Rose has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium (kick-off 14:00 BST). Marco Rose confirmed the Cherries had "suffered some injuries" during pre-season, but the German boss did not name players who may be ruled out for the opening game of the season. The former RB Leipzig boss is "happy" with his squad and that everything was "in a good spot" after Bournemouth acted early during the summer window.
Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Manchester United at MKM Stadium (kick-off 12:30 BST). Jakirovic was asked if defenders Bernard Mendy or Lucas Herrington could come straight into the team due to Charlie Hughes being out injured but would not divulge his team news.
A number of players are leaving Liverpool for loan moves as Andoni Iraola cuts down his squad for the season ahead. Winger Kieran Morrison has completed a temporary switch to Sheffield Wednesday for the duration of the 2026-27 campaign. Morrison, who was impressive during Liverpool's pre-season tour of the USA, turned down interest from Europe to move to League One as the 19-year-old believes he will get consistent first-team football at Hillsborough.
Sunderland will compete in the Europa League this season, but their focus is currently on their Premier League opener at Ipswich Town. The post Sunderland not looking past Ipswich test ahead of European adventure appeared first on SoccerNews.
