Age: 23 Cost: £35m Position: Midfielder

Career so far: Made his professional debut with Basel in his native Switzerland and won two league titles and one domestic cup before moving to Monchengladbach in 2012. Captained the side to fourth place in the Bundesliga.

What type of player is he? A combative yet creative midfielder known for his vision, accurate passing and hard tackling. He was second only to Xabi Alonso for completed passes in last season's Bundesliga, yet he also managed to get sent off three times for his club last term.

Will he cut it in the Premier League? Arsenal and Arsene Wenger certainly think so. Could be a star of the 2016-17 campaign.

What has been said about him? Ottmar Hitzfeld, the former Switzerland manager, called him the 'young Bastian Schweinsteiger'.

How did you get on last season? Got a reputation to protect? Or maybe you're new to the game and keen to impress?  

The Premier League predictor is back and it's bigger and better than ever.  

Now you can create personalised leagues to play against friends, family and colleagues. It's free, easy and a whole lot of fun.

Leicester are the Premier League champions. They won the title by 10 points last season and lost only three matches, half as many as the next hardest-to-beat team, Tottenham.

But they are around seventh favourites with the bookies, while our pundits have them down to finish seventh as well.

So how will they do this time around? Vote now at the top of this page. The vote will close at 12:30 BST and terms and conditions can be found here.

The excitement builds, you wake up with a spring in your step, new season's kit on, all ready to go.

Then the car breaks down. Nightmare.

This morning, in our usual tie in with the Danny Baker Show on BBC Radio 5 live, we're asking you for:

Your worst start to a football season that had nothing to do with football.

Get in touch using #bbcfootball, external or text us on 81111.

Premier League

Right, no messing about this morning. I'll be honest, there is a shed load of stuff to get through so get those reading glasses cleaned.

Here is a heads up on what I have for you over the next three hours, before gearing up for the first match of the season between Hull and champions Leicester:

(Still feels surreal saying that. Leicester City - Premier League champions. Best get used to it, I guess)

• Team-by-team guides on how they got on in pre-season and summer signings
• Profiles on a selection of key overseas players who have joined the league
• Phil McNulty's Premier League predictions
• Money talks: Manchester clubs spend big on Paul Pogba and John Stones

We will also have the best of the chat from you lot and a special Premier League poem from a Match of the Day commentator. That is well worth staying tuned for.

Off we go.

"Everybody, yeah.

"Rock your body, yeah.

"Everybody, yeah.

"Rock. Your. Body. Right.

"Premier League's back, alright."

90 long days have passed since a ball was kicked in the top-flight of English football. Yes, we had the Euros in between, but that was one to forget...unless you're Welsh, of course.

Brand new players, pitches, kits, customs, rules and regulations will be rolled out today.

Supporters around the land will be rising with anticipation, hoping their team does a Leicester and avoids doing a Villa.

The long journey to May, starts today.
