Manchester City enter the new campaign attempting to do what only two teams ever have achieved by winning five titles in six but Liverpool have other plans after last season’s quadruple run ended in just a Cup double by slender margins.
Then there is the chasing pack. How much progress can Tottenham Hotspur make? What do Chelsea have in store under their new owners? Are Manchester United able to turn a page under Erik ten Hag? And can Arsenal go one better than last season’s fifth?
The mid-table should be set - though many are aiming to be surprise packages - while promoted sides Bournemouth, Fulham and Nottingham Forest will be hoping one of last season’s survivors struggle again.
