For some of the other high-profile players returning to their Premier League teams following the international break, the reception might be a little frostier. Unlike Oxlade-Chamberlain, who managed to secure a transfer from Arsenal, three stars of the league — Alexis Sanchez, Philippe Coutinho and Riyad Mahrez — failed to get the moves they wanted on the final day of Europe’s transfer window last week. They have since been training and playing for their countries, but the time has come to go back to their clubs. Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are the other teams without a point so far and they take on Arsenal and Burnley away, respectively. ——More AP Premier League coverage: https://apnews.com/tag/PremierLeague——Steve Douglas is at http://www.twitter.com/sdouglas80
