The Premier League returns this weekend and fans could be in for another roller-coaster season at the top of the table. Last season Manchester City held off the unexpected challenge of Liverpool to win the title, and things could be even more exciting this time round.

If Liverpool can survive the departure of Luis Suarez they will hope to compete once again, while Jose Mourinho's Chelsea will expect to improve on third place. Arsenal failed to last the distance last time out, but they are back in the trophy business and hungry for more silverware after winning the FA Cup and Community Shield, while Man United appear reinvigorated under Louis van Gaal.
