What to watch in the leading soccer leagues in Europe this weekend:

England

The Premier League starts on Friday with Bournemouth hosting Brighton still without a point after four matches. There’s no indication Eddie Howe is about to lose his job at Bournemouth. But the other team on zero points, Crystal Palace, did fire its manager this week, ditching Frank de Boer after 77 days and hiring Roy Hodgson. Hodgson returns to management — more than a year after leaving the England job — with a home match against Swansea.

Saturday also has Tottenham trying to win at Wembley for the first time in the league this season, after collecting only one point from a possible six from its opening games at its temporary home.
