Pre-season's a time for slog, sweat and science and Premier League clubs across the country are getting back down to business.
The new top-flight term kicks off on Saturday, August 13 and while some players have been granted an extended breather after international commitments, plenty have returned to action under the watchful eye of managers familiar and new.
From tried-and-tested drills to team games, hard miles and health checks, see what your squad's been up to and follow their pre-season results...
ARSENAL
Last season's runners-up returned to action on July 5 - and got straight down to work with a double session. Theo Walcott, Per Mertesacker and Calum Chambers all featured but the likes of Olivier Giroud, Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey - in France at Euro 2016 - and Copa America winner Alexis Sanchez, who is recovering from an ankle injury, will link up with their club team-mates later this month. Arsene Wenger's side travel to the USA at the end of July for two games - including against an MLS All-Stars side that could include Kaka and Didier Drogba.
EVERTON
Everton were back at Finch Farm on July 5 and new gaffer Ronald Koeman was hands-on as he assessed his new squad's skills. Koeman takes his players to Germany in late July, before sending a side to Old Trafford for former Toffee Wayne Rooney's testimonial on August 3.
LIVERPOOL
Liverpool were back to work on July 2 - and boss Jurgen Klopp welcomed employees old and new. Sadio Mane, a summer signing from Southampton, limbered up with his new team-mates, while Mario Balotelli seemed happy back on Merseyside after an ill-fated stint with AC Milan that saw him score just once in 23 appearances. The Reds take on the likes of AC Milan and Barcelona in the International Champions Cup - live on Sky - this summer.
MANCHESTER CITY
While rivals Manchester United were unveiling Jose Mourinho to the media, Pep Guardiola was at work on the training pitch. Star names like Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne are not due to link up with the squad for another fortnight after international endeavours but Guardiola had a healthy complement - that included Yaya Toure - back in action, ahead of high-profile clashes with former club Bayern Munch and Mourinho's new United in Beijing.
SUNDERLAND
Sunderland narrowly escaped relegation last season and boss Sam Allardyce called his players back on July 4 before putting them through a string of health checks. Allardyce will take his players on a pre-season tour of France and has a final warm-up fixture against Borussia Dortmund in the diary.
WEST HAM
Footballs, medicine balls, ping-pong balls - West Ham have mixed it up since starting pre-season training Stateside. The Hammers were comfortably beaten by Seattle Sounders in their opening warm-up fixture and will be keen to put on a better show when they host Juventus in a curtain-raiser for their new home, the Olympic Stadium.
