| Manchester United's new boss David Moyes has replaced Sir Alex Ferguson after 27 years |
After a long summer, it's finally here. Sir Alex Ferguson has gone but Jose Mourinho is back. Luis Suarez, Wayne Rooney and Gareth Bale's futures remain in doubt... oh how we've missed you, Barclays Premier League! From Afric tv24 Zamfara to YOU, read our definitive club-by-club guide as we count down to Saturday's big kick-off...
For signs of change look no further than the champions, Manchester United. After 27 years and 38 trophies Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down from the top job at Old Trafford to enjoy retirement. David Moyes will be the man to fill his considerable shoes, after the former Everton boss was hand-picked by Fergie to be his successor.
But will United be winners under another Scot? With the future of Wayne Rooney still undecided, and some patchy pre-season form, it hasn't been the smoothest of starts for Moyes.
Across town at Manchester City there has also been change as Roberto Mancini was ousted after his failure to win a trophy and replaced by Manuel Pellegrini.
The squad already has a new look to it, with City bringing in £90million worth of talent in Fernandinho, Alvaro Negredo, Stevan Jovetic and Jesus Navas. The pressure will be on Pellegrini to return the Premier League crown to the Etihad.
Trying to break the Manchester hegemony will be Chelsea, who have seen the return of the 'Special One', Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese's return has seen the Blues installed as the bookies' favourites, helped along by investment in Andre Schurrle and Marco van Ginkel. The club are still chasing Rooney and his signature could see a power shift from Manchester to London.
