Today is August 8th and that only means one thing people; the Premier League is set to return in just eight days’ time – just eight days!

This summer has been more bearable than most, what with the resurrection of international football at the highly entertaining Brazil World Cup but any genuine football fan will tell you that the last two weeks or so have been agony!

Cries of ‘where’s my midweek viewing’ and ‘just where is Gary Lineker’ have filled living rooms up and down the land, but in eight days’ time, all withdrawal symptoms will be banished for good!

So what can you do with your eight football-less days? Sign up for The Sun Dream Team that’s what!

What better way to feed your anticipation for the forthcoming 2014/15 Premier League campaign than by pulling on your best suit (or trackie!), adjusting your collar and addressing the masses, playing manager as you complete signings and assemble your ranks to do battle over the course of ten hard-fought months of blood, sweat and tears.

You’ll have to be quick to register your Dream Team with The Sun though, with time ticking down fast before the official curtain raiser between Manchester United and Swansea City on Saturday 16th August at 12:45.

So who will win you prestige, aplomb and critically kudos against your mates? Will it be the likes of Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez brought in for big money from Barca or will it be Sergio Aguero – cool, calm and collected at this level?

Or will it be Emmanuel Adebayor. Of course Tottenham fans are going to be tempted to throw their big Togolese hitman into the mix. Whoever you choose, make sure your Dream Team is registered with The Sun in good time before the Red Devils kick off what is sure to be the most exciting Premier League title race to date!
