The Premier League is back! And for tens of thousands of football fans in Australia that means nine months of late nights and early starts following their favourite clubs.

This year the Premier League is set to be bigger than ever. For champions Liverpool, another title would put them one ahead than bitter rivals Manchester United.

For United, surely the season can’t be any worse than last year – a title challenge is unlikely but stranger things have happened, after all, this season will mark ten years since Leicester City stunned the world by winning the championship.

And what about Arsenal? Is this finally their year. Spurs too have a huge fanbase in Australia, despite the decision to sack Ange Postecoglou.

But we understand not everyone is a diehard fan, so we’ve put together a quick guide to everything you need to know ahead of the new season.
