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.

Leeds United vs Norwich City
That's all from us today, we'll see you for the next game. Until then, goodbye!
Leeds United vs Norwich City
That massive first victory for Jesse Marsch sees his Leeds side move four points clear of the relegation zone, and a first win in seven games should hopefully spur Leeds on to move further clear of the drop zone. Norwich's late heartbreak, coupled with Watford's corresponding victory over Southampton, means the Canaries are now four points from 19th, and five from safety overall. Time is running out for Dean Smith's side, and quickly.
Leeds United vs Norwich City
Raphinha was simply mesmeric in this game, and as well as having a team-leading three shots, seven crosses and winning all of his aerial duels, his four key passes included that late assist to give Joe Gelhardt the winner and set up Leeds' first win in seven games! What a performance from the Brazilian, who was back to his unplayable best today.
Leeds United vs Norwich City
Well, what a game that was! Leeds' failure to take their chances let Norwich back into the game, and they duly obliged with McLean's late equaliser! That looked to have knocked the stuffing out of Leeds, but up popped the substitute Gelhardt to finish off Raphinha's good work and score a late, late winner for the Whites! They've got Jesse Marsch his first win as Leeds boss, and in dramatic fashion to say the least!
Leeds United vs Norwich City
SAVED!!!! What a chance!!! The ball is bouncing all over the Leeds box and the advanced Krul flicks it onto Pukki, who stabs an effort that Meslier keeps out from point-blank range! What a stop from the Leeds keeper, and that might just do it for the home side!
