The Premier League is back, and so are we. Hull City were not even in this league last season. On day one they beat Manchester United 2-0, and both goals came from defenders. Issy and George pick through an opening weekend that also saw Pep Guardiola leave Manchester City after ten years, Brighton score four past Aston Villa inside 31 minutes, and Liverpool rescue a point at Newcastle with a penalty in the 99th minute. Then it is game time. Football By Numbers is brand new for this season: six questions, every answer is a number, three options each. Play along at home and see if you can beat Issy and George. The prediction competition starts again from nothing and runs all the way to February. This week: Chelsea against Real Sociedad in the Women's Champions League on Wednesday, and Coventry against Hull on Saturday. One for the diary: the Women's Super League is back on Friday 4 September. Tell us who your ultimate football hero is, and why.
