GOT a question?
SunSport gives you the answers to all the burning questions about the Premier League.
1) How many games there in the Premier League season?
There are 38 games to a Premier League season and have been since the division was cut down from 22 teams at the end of the 1994-95 season.
2) When does the Premier League season start?
The Premier League season starts in early-mid August, a week after traditional season opener the Community Shield. That game takes place between the league champions and FA Cup winners.
For 2016-17, the season started on August 13.
3) Who will win the Premier League?
So many teams could win the title this season as it promises to be one of the the toughest campaigns yet.
Manchester City look excellent under new coach Pep Guardiola and are the current favourites with most bookies.
Don't rule out the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham who are all at short odds.
4) When does the Premier League end?
The 2016-17 season will conclude on May 21.
5) Will Leicester City win the Premier League?
Unlikely. Last season, Leicester took advantage of poor campaigns by the traditional big boys, producing an amazing season under Claudio Ranieri that saw the rise of N'Golo Kante, Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.
With Kante now at Chelsea, Champions League football putting an extra strain on the squad and teams wise to Leicester's tactics, they have started the season slowly.
In fact, most bookmakers have the Foxes as more likely to be relegated than defend their title.
6) How many teams have won the Premier League?
Six teams have won the Premier League since its inception in 1992.
Manchester United have won it the most - 13 times under Sir Alex Ferguson.
The other winners are Blackburn Rovers (one title), Arsenal (three), Chelsea (four), Manchester City (two) and Leicester City (one).
