SEASON   SHAPE   UP OF  ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE 2019

This week  has featured  some of  the best  pre- season  games, which serve  as perfect recipe  for action  packed  season that lies ahead . The countdown  for premier  league  is on   and we officially  13 days  from  the return   of the English  league  and just  eight days   from community shield  that  will put Manchester city  against premier league runners    up to Liverpool. 

Traditionally League winners play FA CUP winners for the community  shield  but this case  Manchester city won  the domestic treble, which means  they  will have  to play  the league runners up Liverpool . I  am  excited  at the  growing  numbers of young  managers at the helm of six clubs and competition promises will be a good one due to the efforts  of Manchester city's manager  pep Guardiola to placing man city at the best levels  each season.
