Despite being the team that retrieved their Premier League status via the play-offs, Southampton are the favourites to finish highest of the three promoted clubs in the Premier League this term.

Russell Martin's outfit, who finished 10 points adrift of champions Leicester City and nine points short of Ipswich Town in second, overcome Leeds United in the play-off final courtesy of Adam Armstrong's first half strike.

The Saints have bolstered their squad with a blend of experienced captures and promising purchases, while key components of their promotion charge last season have joined the club on a permanent basis, with Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Flynn Downes relocating to Hampshire on long-term contracts.

There remains question marks as to whether the style of play Martin has implemented at St Mary's will thrive in the Premier League. We witnessed last season how Vincent Kompany persisted with a possession-orientated approach and Burnley were ultimately punished for it.

Ipswich Town are set to be a fascinating proposition this term as Kieran McKenna leads the Tractor Boys into their first Premier League campaign since 2001/02.

There is minimal expectation on the Portman Road club and they know how to defy the odds having sealed automatic promotion last season. They've added potential to their ranks with the acquisitions of Jacob Greaves and Liam Delap, but McKenna will know greater depth is required if Ipswich are to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.

Leicester are the biggest price in the market, which is understandable considering the Foxes are mired in profit and sustainability concerns, have lost the manager who orchestrated their title-winning campaign and their star player, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Steve Cooper has been brought in to replace Enzo Maresca, though the style of the former Nottingham Forest boss is of a stark contrast to the intricacies of the Italian's system and you sense that Leicester are equipping themselves for a relegation dogfight.
