After what seems like an eternity, well a few weeks break in the sun then pre-season, the English Premiership is back in full swing, as the new season kicks off in style with Hull City's visit to Chelsea.
Manchester United are targeting a fourth successive Premier League crown and a record 19th league title, while new boys Birmingham, Burnley and Wolves will be hoping to simply stay up.
