The Premier League 2025-26 season has kicked with much anticipation and excitement. Each team has built a strong squad during the transfer window.

The campaign ended on a high with victory in the FA Cup final and qualification for the UEFA Europa League.
After finishing fifth in 2021/22, Arsenal narrowly missed out on a first title since 2004 the following season, finishing five points behind Man City while returning to the UEFA Champions League.

Following a slow start in which Bournemouth failed to win any of their opening nine Premier League fixtures, Iraola’s side went on to record their best ever Premier League points total of 48 at the time, finishing 12th.
Last season, he took Bournemouth to new heights again, steering them to a superb ninth-place finish and shattering their previous Premier League points record, with an impressive 56.
