Could be, though I also remember a few years back Bale knew he wanted to switch away from his number 3 shirt but either hadn't settled on 11 or hadn't asked VDV, so wore 9 during the friendlies. So may well be some players (Bentaleb, Mason) with new numbers without an official announcement until...

West Ham (H) – (L)
Swansea (H) – (W)
QPR (A) – (L)
Man U (A) – (W)
Leicester (H) – (W)
Burnley (A) – (W)
Aston Villa (H) – (W)
Newcastle (A) – (W)
Southampton (A) – (W)
Man City (H) – (L)
Stoke...

QPR – Norwich City
Burnley - Fulham

West Ham (A) – W (L) +3
QPR (H) – W (W) no change
Liverpool (H) – L (L) no...
