Now in its 29th season, the Premier League is the biggest in the world – with the 2021-22 season set for the return of fans to stadiums.

Manchester City are the title holders heading into the campaign, with a handful of teams tipped for success domestically this season. Norwich City, Watford and Brentford join the division again after promotion from the Championship – with the latter competing in the Premier League for the first time ever.

The 2021-22 season begins on 13 August 2021 and runs through until 22 May 2022.
