While there were a couple appetizers on Friday, the main course of European football action starts early Saturday, as the two-time defending champions Manchester City begin their shot at history in London.
The Citizens take on West Ham United in the first of six Premier League games Saturday, and I take a look at five of them here.
Of course, there are matches all over Europe, and with other leagues set to kick off next weekend, it is definitely now FOOTBALL SZN.
