Ahead of the 2025-26 Premier League (EPL) season, we created a preview of all 20 EPL clubs, including the three clubs that were promoted from the EFL Championship in 2024-25: league winners Leeds United; league runners-up Burnley FC and Promotion Playoffs winners Sunderland AFC.

These EPL club previews include text and posters detailing a short biography of the club — including the club’s stadium, its capacity, the manager and the number of EPL titles won — and the summer 2025 transfers: both incoming and outgoing players. The transfers section excludes the following:

  • players who returned to their parent club from a loan stint;

  • players whose contracts expired after June 2025; and

  • players who signed with a club’s first team after graduating from that club’s academy or from that club’s reserve team.

This collection of articles is divided into four parts. Each part includes five clubs listed in alphabetical order. Part 2 consists of previews for the following EPL clubs:

  • newly promoted Burnley FC;

  • Chelsea FC;

  • Crystal Palace;

  • Everton FC; and

  • Fulham FC.
