Liverpool and Manchester City remained the best two teams in the country last season by some distance.
The pair battled it out once again for the Premier League title and have added to their squads in the off season. It means they could well be even more relentless, which is a daunting prospect for the rest, who are trying to close the gap, when 2022-23 gets underway.
Both clubs have been calculated in the transfer market in recent years, with very few of their signings failing to deliver. They've also been able to add one or two players per year, rather than having to spend huge sums on several players to overhaul the starting XI - which is always a risky strategy and can often backfire.
