Transfers, stats and highlights: This is our club by club guide to the new Premier League season, which kicks off this weekend

It's been a long and cold couple of months without our proper dose of weekend football action. But all that's set to change with the Barclays Premier League making its official return to action this weekend.

The Olympics may have kept us preoccupied with the whole who-led-which-medal-tally race, you can't say that you've not been dying to see English league champions Manchester City defend their title, or Manchester United regain theirs, Arsenal's life without RVP, Liverpool's new reign under Rodgers, and all the other drama that's been quietly brewing over the last months.

So to appease your hunger for all this and more, here's a complete club-by-club guide to the Premier League. Transfers, news, updates, and everything else you'll need to know for the 2012/13 Barclays Premier League season.
