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.

West Ham United vs Aston Villa
Young gets the better of Fredericks this time, and he fizzes it forward for Coutinho down the left. His blocked cross wins a corner, but Luiz's ball in is collected comfortably by Fabianski.

Villa are trying to patiently work it upfield as they look for a quick response. Ramsey knocks it through to Coutinho and tries to bundle his way into the box for the return pass, but they're crowded out by the hosts.

Again, West Ham work it forward down their left side and Benrahma makes another good run down the wing. The cross isn't so good this time though as it flies over everyone in the middle.
