In total there are 380 matches to be contested in what promises to be another dramatic edition of Premier League football.
Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal will all have title-winning ambitions, while clubs like Huddersfield, Watford, and Burnley will be desperate to avoid relegation.
The league is scheduled to finish on Sunday, May 13 — earlier than usual — in order to accommodate the FIFA World Cup finals in Russia, which begin on June 14.
