It's here! The shortest offseason in memory has come to an end in the Premier League, and all 20 teams are on equal footing as the new campaign begins.
Due to the late end to the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, two matches from the opening weekend have been postponed to give Manchester United and Manchester City the regulated amount of downtime between seasons. It's just one of the quirks that will affect the 2020-21 campaign, with the lack of fans inside venues the most noticable.
Intensity will be high regardless of how many people are in each stadium, as teams know that each and every point is invaluable for title contenders and relegation candidates alike.
It all kicks off at Craven Cottage as Fulham hosts Arsenal in an all-London clash.
