PREMIER LEAGUE REPORT CARD - PART TWO: Can Chelsea go from champions of Europe to champions of England, is Brendan Rodgers set for another top-four collapse... and will Everton, Leeds or Crystal Palace spring a surprise this season?

The new Premier League season is upon us with all the giddy excitement and optimism that brings.

We can expect the usual drama from the self-styled 'best league in the world' where, as we've seen time and time again, anyone can beat anyone.

Manchester City will be looking to defend their title but can expect to be pushed hard by Manchester United, Liverpool and reigning European champions Chelsea. FA Cup holders Leicester City will again be trying to crack the top four, leading a cluster of sides with designs on qualifying for Europe.
