Olympics graced by Barclays Premier League stars

Don't expect Juan Mata to be a big part of Chelsea's opening week double. In fact, you should probably steer clear of all these players as they may be given an extended break by their clubs. The other thing to watch out for in the early weeks is Muslim players who will be in the midst of Ramadan and therefore fasting during the day. Newcastle United will be the likely slow-starters as Papiss Cisse, Demba Ba and Hatem Ben Arfa may all be affected.

West Bromwich Albion have sealed the permanent signing of goalkeeper Ben Foster from Birmingham City. The 29-year-old, who spent last season on loan at the Baggies, has signed a three-year deal with an option for the club to extend it for a further two years. Foster made 37 Barclays Premier League appearances as Albion finished 10th in the table and new manager Steve Clarke was delighted to have secured his first signing since taking over from the departed Roy Hodgson as boss.
