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.

Robertson pulls it back for Thiago and he loops a very deep cross towards Salah at the far post. Pickford reads it well and comes off his line to collect it.
Liverpool vs Everton
Doucoure slides a good pass down the left for Gordon this time, and he's in a foot race against Alexander-Arnold. The forward gets to it first before toppling over, but the free-kick he's asking for isn't given.
Liverpool vs Everton
It's a lovely throughball from Iwobi to Gray, and he manages to lose Van Dijk by checking back. He drags it around three Liverpool defenders before hitting a shot from the edge of the box, but it's blocked by Matip.

Salah leaves Gordon on the floor after a quick drop of the shoulder, but there's no way past Mykolenko. He manages to shrug off the defender but gives away a free-kick in the process.
Liverpool vs Everton
Everton have lost 10 of their last 11 Premier League away games (D1), including each of the last six in a row. It's their longest run of consecutive away defeats since a run of eight between April and October 1994.

Fabinho plays a one-two with Salah down the right, and the space opens up for him. He takes a heavy touch when he tries to control the return pass though and Holgate gets across to hook it clear.
