How will Premier League's three new managers fare?

The Premier League is back this weekend - and for three clubs, it is also the start of a new era after changing managers during the international break.

After three games in interim charge of Newcastle, Graeme Jones has made way for Eddie Howe, who becomes Steve Bruce's permanent successor. Aston Villa lured Steven Gerrard from Rangers after sacking Dean Smith, who then made an instant return to management with Norwich after the Canaries dismissed Daniel Farke.

All three managers start their new tenures with a home game and not only that, they all kick-off at 15:00 GMT on a Saturday.
