The Premier League returns today, launching a new campaign widely expected to be one of the most thrilling in recent memory after a season filled with dramatic twists and turns.

Last year, Liverpool clinched their 20th league title, equaling Manchester United’s record as the most successful club in the competition’s history.

During the offseason, top clubs bolstered their squads with high-profile signings, setting the stage for an intense battle. Defending champions Liverpool, Manchester City eager to reclaim dominance, and Arsenal — runners-up for the past three seasons — are all poised for a title challenge. Chelsea is also tipped to be a strong contender after lifting the FIFA Club World Cup.
