Premier League newcomers (clockwise, from left): Samir Nasri, Deco, Jo, Giovani dos Santos, Didier Digard and Philipp Degen
Big time football is back. After a summer being entertained by a stunning European Championship and bored to tears by innumerable on-off transfer sagas, the Premier League in all its multi-million pound glory is almost upon us.

The most exciting, action-packed, nail-biting division on earth begins in earnest on Saturday as perennial title-chasers Arsenal take on newly-promoted West Brom.
