Be prepared for electric atmospheres, a healthy dose of tourist support, and enough history to fill a museum (though hopefully not your souvenir scarf).
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
- Arsenal: Nicknamed the "Gunners," they're known for their attacking flair and passionate fanbase (just don't mention the lack of recent trophies).
- Chelsea: The "Blues" are the new money on the block (well, relatively new), but they've splashed the cash to become a real force. Expect a ruthless squad and a stadium that looks like a spaceship landed in posh SW London.
- Tottenham Hotspur: Spurs fans are a hardy bunch, having endured years of near misses and "moral victories." But under the shimmering new stadium, they're looking to finally claim their place at the top table.

- Crystal Palace: Nicknamed the "Eagles," they play in a stadium that literally sits in the shadow of a massive Crystal Palace amusement park (awkward much?).
- Fulham: The "Cottagers" are back in the big time after a yo-yo spell. Expect a passionate fanbase and a stadium by the River Thames, perfect for a pre-game pint.
- Brentford: The Premier League newbies are here to disrupt the status quo. Their moneyball tactics and small, but noisy fanbase make them a breath of fresh air in the top flight.
So, Who Should You See?
