"Liverpool have agreed a £12m fee with Sevilla for left-back Alberto Moreno. The 22-year-old Spain international was withdrawn from Tuesday's Uefa Super Cup defeat by Real Madrid and is expected on Merseyside for a medical later in the week.

"Martin Kelly is now expected to leave Anfield to join Crystal Palace. The England international, 24, will have a medical with the Eagles in the next 24 hours after the clubs agreed an initial fee of £1.5m, rising to £2m."

"1. Chelsea, 2. Man City, 3. Arsenal, 4. Liverpool. Bottom three: Burnley, Southampton & Aston Villa.

"It's going to be a fascinating season - it's now a two-tier league: the top seven and 13 teams who are fighting relegation. Chelsea start as favourites because they had the best defensive record last year and have added two brilliant attacking threats in Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa."

We're asking for your Premier League predictions this morning:

JustTalkBall:, external I think Hull will struggle less this season, their transfers have been good on top of a solid base. Top 10 finish?

Djethro Colmer:, external Was at Stamford Bridge last night. Costa has everything Chelsea need, our squad depth is incredible. We will finish top.

Waliu Aforlabi:, external Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal for top four respectively, while Burnley, QPR and West Brom drop to Championship.

You might have thought last night's Real Madrid side, featuring Ronaldo, Bale, Rodriguez et al, was pretty tasty, but Spanish paper Mundo Deportivo leads on an equally mouth-watering line-up - that of La Liga rivals Barcelona. Mundo has a go at predicting how the Catalans might line up next season - with summer signings Luis Suarez and Ivan Rakitic joining Lionel Messi and Neymar in a 'Brutal Eleven'. The paper even takes the liberty of including yet-to-be-signed Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado in the side - but how will the Colombian feel about being pencilled in at right-back?

The Independent reports Manchester United are hopeful of signing Sporting Lisbon's Argentina left-back Marcos Rojo. However, the article, external goes on to suggest the club are not interested in Fiorentina's Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado. The back page features a picture of Great Britain's Jo Pavey who, at the age of 40, won gold in the 10,000m at the European Championships.

BBC Sport's Luke Reddy at the Premier League launch day: "A saloon car pulls up and people in suits begin to gather around it. With this level of security it must be someone regal...it's Roberto Martinez and Phil Jagielka.

"The Everton manager and his main central defender look chirpy as they make their way into a makeshift 'green room'. The Blues, buoyed by the signings of Gareth Barry, Muhamed Besic, Brendan Galloway and Romelu Lukaku, start their campaign at Leicester City on Saturday. City boss Nigel Pearson will be here shortly."

What's on the back pages of today's newspapers in Britain, then? First of all, The Sun leads on David Silva's big-money new contract at Manchester City and also reports on Louis van Gaal's "hero's welcome" to Old Trafford during Tuesday night's friendly victory over Valencia.

Last night's Uefa Super Cup saw Carlo Ancelotti's expensively-assembled Real Madrid team claim the first European silverware of the new season, with a 2-0 win over Sevilla in Cardiff. Home-town hero Gareth Bale grabbed a superb assist, and new signings Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez were also on show, but the real star was once again Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored both goals in a terrific performance. Spanish newspaper Marca says the unstoppable Portuguese is simply 'A Machine'.

Champions: Chelsea

"I tipped them for the title last year when Jose Mourinho returned but the lack of a goalscorer - and narrow defeats at places such as Aston Villa and Crystal Palace - ended their hopes.

"Now that Diego Costa has arrived from Atletico Madrid and Cesc Fabregas is back in the Premier League I believe they will put that right and Mourinho will be a Premier League champion once more."

As Luke's entry below suggests, today is very much about the launch of the new Premier League season. To mark it, BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been making his predictions. More on that shortly.

But who do you think will win the league? Who will finish bottom? Who will finish in the top four?

BBC Sport's Luke Reddy: "A high perimeter fence, trucks with huge satellites on top and two security checks at the gate.

"It sounds like a presidential appearance but this is indeed the Premier League launch in Brent, north-west London. Excitable media types are not in short supply.

"The sun is beating down on a gleaming Premier League trophy and the man who lifted it in May, Vincent Kompany, will be here later to have perhaps one more look at it before his Manchester City side have to start scrapping to defend it."
