Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Watford in the Premier League today.
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.

Watford are making a rare push out of their own half and Kayembe plays a one-two with Femenia to open up some space on the edge of the D. He has a shot when it comes back to him, but it's blocked by Hughes.

Edouard lays it off to Gallagher and the space just seems to open up for him on the edge of the box. He tries to spread it out to Zaha on the opposite side instead of having a shot, but Sarr is there to cut it out.

Hughes goes long with his clearance and it's helped on by Olise towards Edouard. He's asking too much of the forward though and Samir gets it away for Watford.

Femenia pushes Eze in the back just outside the box and Palace have a free-kick in a great position. Eze steps up to take it himself but whips it straight into the wall.

Zaha helps it onto Eze and he spins away from Cathcart before stretching to make sure he touches it back into Zaha's feet. There are a lot of players between him and the goal, but he has a shot which rolls into Foster's gloves.
