Premier League squads have been back training this week as preparation for the new season kicks up a notch, with the new season just four weeks away.

Clubs use the summer to build up fitness, develop their squads, refine tactical approaches and fulfill commercial commitments on lucrative overseas tours, and that's all about to get underway in the coming weeks.

This weekend will see the renewal of one of the bigger rivalries in the Premier League when Manchester United take on Leeds in Stockholm, but who else will be in action and where before the start of the new season?
