Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.
European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.
Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

Brentford vs Burnley
Successive defeats to begin March sees Burnley arrive in London mired in the relegation zone, and last weekend's loss at home to Chelsea was their heaviest reverse of a trying season. Leaving them in the bottom three - one point behind 17th-placed Everton, having played a game more - time is running out to preserve their top-flight status. The Clarets have won only three times in 26 Premier League games this term, but one of those victories came in October's reverse fixture.
