The Premier League made a welcome return over the weekend but it was, in truth, a tentative comeback. Adjusting to a stadium without supporters is going to take time for players, especially while they are still regaining fitness.
There were emphatic victories for the likes of Newcastle and Southampton, while Arsenal had lost twice before Chelsea and Liverpool had played at all - their dramatic defeat against Brighton on Saturday was one of the stand-out matches of the weekend.
Nearly all 20 teams have returned to action - the final one comes on Monday night when Burnley lock horns against Manchester City.
