English Premier League | Saturday 8th August | Stamford Bridge | 18:30

Manchester United on the opening day of the 2014/15 season. However,

Manchester City begin their title chase with a trip to West Midlands on
Monday night where they’ll take on West Bromwich Albion in what is

manager Tony Pulis will relish the challenge of putting a stop to City’s
dominance.

The Spanish side opened the scoring after just four
minutes, with Alvaro Morata equalising in the second half before the
Uruguayan and the Brazilian secured the win.
Yaya Toure says he will not be leaving Manchester City this
summer and is already looking forward to challenging Chelsea for next
season's Premier League title.
The 32-year-old had been linked with a move away from the 2013/14 champions recently but now says he sees his future at City.
The general rule of thumb for the final day of the Premier League
season is to bet on teams who still have something to play for.
However, today that means backing Newcastle at odds-on or Hull at
very cramped odds against Manchester United so I'm happily wading into
the dead rubber at Selhurst Park.
