The wait is almost over. After months of signings, rumours and predictions, the Premier League returns this afternoon, with no shortage of intriguing subplots.
Will Manchester United, strengthened by an influx of talented youngsters, retain their title? Can Manchester City put issues with Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli behind them to mount a title challenge? Can Andre Villas-Boas, at just 33, lead Chelsea back to prominence? What about Arsenal, potentially minus Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri? How far can Kenny Dalglish take Liverpool?
At the other end, the three newly-promoted clubs have been largely written off but QPR, Norwich and Swansea will not be fazed. And the likes of Blackburn, Wigan, Newcastle and several others will be nervously looking over their shoulder. It is hard to pick three teams for the drop with any certainty.
Plenty of questions...now for the answers. Bring on 3pm.
