Forty-two days after Manchester United won 2-1 at Fulham, the Premier League returns to competitive action on Boxing Day, with 10 matches from 26-28 December.
To mark this return, we invited UK rapper Lethal Bizzle to welcome back the competition with his unique take on his original track Pow!
In a nod to the festive season, Mr Bizzle celebrates the players, managers and fans who make the Premier League so unique, setting up some of the narratives that may shape the second half of the season.
Will West Ham’s Declan Rice translate his form for England into on-pitch success? Will record goalscorer Erling Haaland pick up where he left off for Manchester City? Will Southampton’s free-kick specialist James Ward-Prowse continue to dazzle from dead balls? And, in the managerial face-off, will Mikel Arteta continue to keep Arsenal racing towards the title.
We would love to hear how you are celebrating the return of the Premier League this coming weekend – whether attending, watching or following, share your return rituals with us - #PLReturns
