The upcoming EPL season is definitely one to look out for. We've highlighted five important things to look out for.

MOU vs PEP Rivalry:

For the past 10 years, it is hard to dispute the fact that both Pep and Mourinho have been the best football coaches in the world of club football. Interestingly, both share different approaches to the game, and have different characters on and off the field. Mou is seen by many as the hot-headed, lousy, and light-mouthed one, while Pep is regarded as cool headed, sleek and charismatic. Both have been entangled on who the better one is, giving their antecedents in the various club sides they have managed. With both Pep and Mourinho set to work in Manchester, with the two Manchester - based rivals, (Manchester city and Manchester United respectively) and the prospect of battling one another for supremacy in the world's most followed soccer league, fans globally have more than a mouthwatering season oncoming.

Leicester City' s consistency:

Coming off from the best season in their footballing history as surprise champions of the English League, much focus will be on the Claudio Ranieri tutored side's consistency and competitiveness in the oncoming season. With their participation in the European Champions League, Football Enthusiasts are keen to watch how the team will be able to cope with a tighter and more competitive schedule this season, without falling off their current status as the champions of the English League. Also, is the ability of their last season's star players to replicate their last season form in the new campaign, with high emphasis on the likes of Jamie Vardy, Drinkwater, Riyah Mahrez, and N'kolo Kante (the last duo subject to the club's ability to shrug off transfer speculations linking both to top European giants).

"The Zlatan's Effects":

Having won the domestic titles with every club side he has played for, over his playing years, across Europe (with exception in both the English Premier League and the Bundesliga, where he is yet to feature), much of the limelight in the oncoming season, will be on his ability to light up the English league, at such a late period in his career (34 years old), as he successfully did in every team he featured in with goals and off field "punchlines" . His charisma on and off the field has no match in the footballing world, and by such both the EPL and Zlatan is seen by many as the perfectly made in heaven match for their awesomeness. The prospect of him working under an equally controversial manager in Jose Mourinho, and facing his archfoe, in Pep Guardiola across the city is more than enthralling.

Antonio Conte’s Chelsea Side:

Coming off one of their worst seasons in the last ten years, much expectations will be on the new Chelsea coach, Antonio Conte's competence to return the team to its rightful place among European Elites. With his tactical performance during the ongoing European Championship, coaching the Italian team, Chelsea fans, and indeed soccer enthusiasts, will be watchful of how he will be able to replicate the same level of sagacity he showed while working for both Juventus and the Italian team over the last five years in rejuvenating a Chelsea side that finished in the bottom half of the English Premier League table last season.


Media Fights:

Having almost all the top coaches in the world in a single league is expected to draw lots of media wars among the Coaches, in match conferences . The prospects of having Mourinho face Guardiola, Mourinho face Wenger, Klopp face Pep, Klopp face Mou, Mou face Chelsea, is mouthwatering. Expect the British Media to drive the Rivalry over the odds with intriguing and fascinating headlines. Already, Mourinho has lived up to his expectation in leading the media fights, through his first comments as the Manchester United coach, where he appear to throw shades at the other managers, more specifically, his longtime archenemy, Arsene Wenger. We can't wait for the multiple jabbing and epic replies.
