TITLE HAT-TRICK! Only one team has ever won the Premier League title three years in a row – Man. United did it between 1999 and 2001, and then again between 2007 and 2009. Wow! THE CONTENDER… Man. City have won the last two Premier League titles, so if they get their hands on the trophy again they’ll match rivals United’s hat-trick record! They’ll also join Chelsea as the second most successful team in history with five Premier League titles! GOLDEN BOOT! Arsenal legend Thierry Henry and all-time top Prem goalscorer Alan Shearer are the only players to win the PL Golden Boot three seasons in arow, with Henry winning four awards in total! THE CONTENDER… Although he shared the prize last season, Mo Salah will bag his third gong in…

BREWSTER BITEBACK? Liverpool’s front three are all recovering from summers of international duty, so there’s apretty good chance we’ll see wonderkid Rhian Brewster play. The young striker actually started out in Chelsea’s academy, so he could make The Blues regret letting him leave! NEW HAZARD? Chelsea’s match-winner against Liverpool last season was Eden Hazard, so they need someone else to step up to the plate. £58 million-man Christian Pulisic could be that man – especially as another contender, Callum Hudson-Odoi, is out injured! 1 It’ll be the first ever all-English clash in UEFA Super Cup history! 4 If Liverpool win, they’ll join Real Madrid as the second-best team in the history of the competition with four trophies! 41,188 Besiktas’ Vodafone Arena in Istanbul, Turkey will host the match –with more…

PICKFORD ON… THE CLUB DJ! JORDAN SAYS: “If I get the chance, I’ll put some house music on, but that only happens when I’m first in the changing room. On game day it’s normally Tom Davies and Dominic Calvert-Lewin – and they usually play R’n’B!” PICKFORD ON… THE JOKER! JORDAN SAYS: “There aren’t really as many pranks in football these days, but I’d say Leighton Baines is the funniest – he definitely gets his giggle in. Ledge!” PICKFORD ON… THE LEAST FASHIONABLE! JORDAN SAYS: “Tom Davies has his own fashion sense – he wears some mad clothes! That’s all I’ll say... and, just for the banter, I’ll say Gylfi Sigurdsson has a dodgy fashion sense as well!” PICKFORD ON… MR. SUPERSTITIOUS! JORDAN SAYS: “I haven’t asked the other lads about…

10 RENNES LIGUE 1 Yes, Rennes only came 10th in France’s Ligue 1 last season, but The Red and Blacks came from 2-0 down to beat PSG on penalties in the French Cup final and won one leg against Arsenal in the Europa League! Watch out for their Senegal striker M’Baye Niang, who joined on a permanent deal at the end of May! 9 GETAFE LA LIGA Getafe were in the Spanish second tier in 2016-17, but this campaign they’ll be playing in the Europa League! The La Liga side don’t score loads of goals, but their backline is really tough to crack – they conceded fewer goals than Barcelona in 2018-19! Premier League teams will definitely want to avoid them in Europe! 8 ATALANTA SERIE A If you’ve been…

NIKE’S NEW LIGHTS! adidas aren’t the only big brand to drop some shiny new boots ahead of the Prem kick-off – the Nike ‘New Lights’ PhantomVSNs were revealed on Instagram recently! SPONSORLESS TERRIERS! Huddersfield’s new home shirt is pretty unique, in that it doesn’t have the usual sponsor on the front – just the club crest and Umbro logo. Well played! HERO HAZARD! He might have left Chelsea to join Real Madrid this summer, but Eden Hazard’s new customised blue Nike Mercurials nodded to his old club’s colours!…

JORDAN SAYS: “I use Twitter and Instagram, depending on the moment!” SCHOOL SUBJECT! JORDAN SAYS: “P.E. – that’s pretty standard! I used to get top marks in that subject!” OTHER SPORT! JORDAN SAYS: “I used to like playing tennis as a kid, plus I’d do boxing in the week and I’m into golf now as well. My fave tennis player is Rafael Nadal, because he’s left-handed!” TV PROGRAMME! JORDAN SAYS: “I keep chopping and changing TV programmes, and film-wise I’ve seen too many to give just one! Ilike all sorts of films, but I enjoy any movie with Denzel Washington!” FOOD! JORDAN SAYS: “I don’t mind some pizza and potato…
