The new Premier League season is almost here. Each team has goals, but here's the person at each club who will define success or failure. Only Arsenal within the traditional Big Six have the same coach as last season. Enzo Maresca replaces Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, tasked with adapting to modern tactics. Ben White returns from injury to bolster Arsenal's title defense, while Šeško aims to become Manchester United's elite goal scorer. Emiliano Martínez must maintain form to help Aston Villa outpace expectations, and Andoni Iraola faces the challenge of scaling his Bournemouth success at Liverpool.

From Chelsea's Xabi Alonso to Tottenham's Roberto De Zerbi, new managers abound. At Bournemouth, Marco Rose replaces Iraola while juggling Europa League duties. Key individuals like Michael Carrick at Manchester United and others will shape their teams' fates. With injuries, transfers, and tactical shifts, these 20 people hold the keys to the season's outcome.
