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.

Richarlison's two goals from twelve yards are his only shots on target thus far, but he's also completed a key pass, and more touches, passes and duels than any other Everton player. Defensively, he's been immense too, chipping in with three tackles and clearances apiece, and two interceptions, winning the ball six times in total. Superb.
