The World Cup is over, so all attention turns back to the English top flight
Now the World Cup is over, fans across the globe turn their attention back to domestic football.
For millions around the world, the Premier League is the most entertaining of all the divisions and this season promises to be one of the most enthralling in recent times.

Last season saw records tumble almost on a weekly basis and statisticians really earn their money’s worth.
But while Mohamed Salah kept scoring and Manchester City kept winning, there was a host of other obscure records being broken on a weekly basis.
Thanks to Opta, we have assembled some of the best for your pleasure (and by best, we mean some truly remarkable ones). Check them out below!
