Player to watch

Bobby Zamora. A full international now, can he take confidence from his Wembley appearance and finally fulfil his promise?

Squad worries

New signing Philippe Senderos is already out for some months – which makes it imperative to keep Brede Hangeland.

Manager speak

Mark Hughes. Something to prove, especially to Manchester City, and capable of doing it in a saner environment. Will benefit from lower expectations and profile.

Story of the summer

Woy’s Boys are no more. Following Hodgson’s departure, the silver-haired Hughes is in, much to chairman Mohamed al-Fayed’s delight.

Last season 12th

Suffered from impressive run to Europa League final.

This season 9th

Without European distraction, can regain League ground.
