THE Premier League returns next weekend with plenty of great goals, superb skills and VAR outrage guaranteed.

It has been impossible to avoid the reaction around Arsenal's "bold" away kit.

And Newcastle's away kit option has another not-so-subtle reference to their Saudi Arabian owners.

Bear in mind, we have included leaked kits not officially released just yet and the rankings are based on the overall club kits so a great home shirt could be levelled out with a terrible away effort (yes, we are looking at you, Everton and Brighton).

Anyway, here we go...
