Forget the World Cup... the Premier League is back! The 2018/19 season kicks off tonight with Manchester United vs Leicester City, with both teams desperate to get away to the perfect start following relatively disappointing seasons last time around. Expect plenty of razzmatazz for the first round of Friday Night Football, and we'll tell you how to watch – even if you're outside the UK.
We say that Jose Mourinho's Man United were disappointing last season – they finished second in the league. But they were such a way off their crosstown rivals Manchester City, it certainly feels like a big improvement is needed. So they'll be hoping that Romelu Lukaku brings his shooting boots and Paul Pogba shows the kind of midfield dominance he displayed for France in the World Cup.
After shocking everybody to win the Premier League title three seasons ago, it feels like this could be a tough season for Leicester City. They've lost a world class player in Riyad Mahrez, and manager Claude Puel seems to be on borrowed time. But could a Jamie Vardy scoring run swing their fortunes again?
The action takes place tonight at Old Trafford, with kick-off at 8pm BST (so 9pm in mainland Europe, 3pm ET, 12pm PT). And while Sky has the rights for this first game, we'll let you know how to live stream Manchester United vs Leicester City from absolutely anywhere.
