For 2016-17, the season started on August 13.

Who will win the Premier League?

So many teams could win the Premier League this season as it promises to be one of the the toughest campaigns yet.

Manchester City look excellent under new coach Pep Guardiola and are the current favourites with most bookies.

Don't rule out the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham who are all at short odds.

When does the Premier League end?

The 2016-17 season will conclude on May 21.

Will Leicester City win the Premier League?

Unlikely. Last season, Leicester took advantage of poor campaigns by the traditional big boys, producing an amazing season under Claudio Ranieri that saw the rise of N'Golo Kante, Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.

With Kante now at Chelsea, Champions League football putting an extra strain on the squad and teams wise to Leicester's tactics, they have started the season slowly.

In fact, most bookmakers have the Foxes as more likely to be relegated than defend their title.

How many teams are there in the Premier League?

Twenty teams compete in the Premier League – there were 22 teams until the 1994-95 season.

The bottom three are relegated to the EFL Championship.
