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.

Good run by Mykolenko down the left wing and he receives the ball off Richarlison in the box, but Dawson reads it well and makes a good clearance.

West Ham have lost two of their last three Premier League games (W1), as many as they had in their previous nine. However, at home the Hammers are looking to secure three consecutive league wins for the first time in over a year (March 2021).

Both teams need to pick up the pace of their game if they are to score an early goal here, as there isn't much urgency going forward at the moment.

Richarlison has looked lively for the visitors so far, linking up well with Calvert-Lewin in the final third. The Brazilian has had to play a lot of games up top on his own this season, so having his strike partner back is a huge boost.

Everton have just edged the possession charts in the last five minutes, keeping it well in midfield, but they are yet to test Fabianski and West Ham look more dangerous in front of goal.

Good move! Calvert-Lewin races down the left wing and gets in behind the Hammers defence, before trying to pull a cross into the six-yard box, but Zouma does well to get across and makes the block.
