2014-15 Barclays Premier League Season Begins on Saturday Aug 16,2014


The 2014-15 Barclays Premier League Season Begins on Saturday Aug 16,2014 following a record summer of transfer spending in England's top league.

The 20 top-flight clubs have invested an estimated £647m - £17m more than in the whole of last summer

Prize money for the winners, including their share of television money, is likely to be near £100m. Last year, Manchester City earned £96.5m, £1m less than second-placed Liverpool, who earned more as they were on television more times

Manchester United, under new boss Louis van Gaal, kick off the season in the early game against Swansea
It is the second year in a row that Manchester United start with a new manager, with Van Gaal looking to improve on the seventh-placed finish achieved by predecessor David Moyes.
