The wait for the return of Premier League football is almost over as Arsenal kick off their title defence against Coventry City on Friday night.
Title Rivals and New Manager
Mikel Arteta’s men will have to fend off the challenge from the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea, who will be hoping new boss Xabi Alonso can transform their fortunes following a disastrous campaign at Stamford Bridge.
Newly-promoted Coventry, Hull and Ipswich are the favourites for the drop but will be attempting to defy the odds and secure Premier League survival.
