Wednesday marks 100 days since the last Premier League match — Leicester 4-0 Aston Villa. That’s a long time for a striker to go without scoring a goal.
Even the window between the end of the 2018-19 season and start of 2019-20 was only 82 days, so we’ve already had a longer break than last summer. With the Premier League restarting on Wednesday and plenty at stake, there is pressure on the strikers to perform.
They are the best-paid in the changing room. They’re the ones there to score the goals that win the games.
