Saturday Football / Chelsea Pre-match Open Thread

Football!

It's back!

It's really back!

Can you believe it?

Chelsea play the late game today, which means that a) they will be on national TV in the USA (EnnnBeeeCeee beybeee!) and b) we get to watch most of our rivals before we get to watch our own.

United & Palace kick things off at 12:45 BST / 7:45am EDT, while six matches follow at the traditional 3pm Saturday afternoon spot - three of which people might actually care about: City are away to Stoke, Arsenal are away to Sunderland, while Spurs host Norwich City. On paper, all of the above-mentioned should be comfortable wins for the favorites but hopefully we'll get an upset or four.

Discuss.
