Everton
Position last season: eighth
Transfers in: None

BBC Radio Merseyside's Ian Kennedy: "I think Marco Silva and new director of football Marcel Brands will be aware of the lack of depth in the striking department. Cenk Tosun has proved to be a good signing, but he'll need support up top. Dominic Calvert-Lewin did well last season and we know Oumar Niasse can be a handful - but can Everton find an experienced top-class striker or two?
"Everton have holding midfielders - but may look for more creative midfielders. A fit again Gylfi Sigurdsson will be a bonus and it'll be interesting to see if Ademola Lookman is given more opportunities after coming back from his loan spell in Germany. The Blues squad is big, and may well require trimming down before any new signings come in. Last season proved tough for the likes of Davy Klaassen and Nikola Vlasic - but will the new manager give them an opportunity to impress?"
