I cannot wait for the Premier League to get started and I am looking forward to being on the first Match of the Day of the season on Saturday night.
I know I am not the only one expecting a special season. I have never known so much anticipation leading up to a new campaign, and there are lots of reasons people are so excited.
Last year, other than the champions Leicester and, at times, Tottenham, the standard of play was pretty poor.
This time, with all the big-name managers involved and the money they have spent - including a world-record fee for Paul Pogba - I am expecting much bigger and better things.
I agree with MOTD host Gary Lineker that Leicester will not retain their title - but that still leaves six teams who can win it: Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham.
A lot can happen between now and the transfer window but, speaking before a ball is kicked, I think it will come down to a fight between the Manchester clubs.
If you pushed me, I would go with City because of new manager Pep Guardiola and the quality of their squad, but it is going to be very close.
