The 2020/21 Premier League season is upon us, even though the last season only finished five minutes ago, and the big question is, can Liverpool retain the title?
Jurgen Klopp's side are going to be chased hard by Manchester City whilst Chelsea are also well fancied after a busy summer and Manchester United will be hoping to continue their resurgence.
At SPORTbible HQ we've once again set ourselves up for a fall, after a majority of the team predicted Sheffield United would get relegated last season, with our season predictions. Let us know what your answers are in the Facebook comments.

It looks like everyone thinks the title is between last year's top two and there isn't much question who will finish in the top four either, although no agreement on the order.
Kevin de Bruyne is well fancied to win the Player of the Season award once again and City, Chelsea and Spurs are expected to do well in the cups.
In Europe Bayern are strong favourites to be only the second team to win the Champions League back-to-back, after Real's three in a row.
Who do you think is most likely to be right?
