Muhammed Salah gets hat-trick against Leeds.

After a disappointing season in 2019/20, Arsenal kicked off the year with a huge 3-0 win over Fulham

Everton defeated a lack lustre Tottenham 1-0.

As for my Chelsea FC, the team defeated Brighton 3-1.

I normally don't bother with the English Championship League, but this week I made an exception.

I felt compelled to watch Watford play Middlesbrough last Friday.

Why?

It is because I'm interested to see if Watford is going to get themselves back in the EPL.

I have a hard time putting my head around how Watford, who were good in 2018/19, ended up being relegated last year.

God!  Watford was dreadful last season.

The team did not have the scoring touch at all last year.

Watford, however, did kicked off their season this year with a 1-0 win.

That's all I have for this week.
 

Next week, I ought to have more football action as Serie A and Bundesliga begin their seasons this weekend.

Until then, stay safe, stay healthy.
