Jose Mourinho didn't bring in too many new faces this summer, but his acquisitions have already given Chelsea an early-season edge.

Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa are doing the business for the Blues in attack, while Thibaut Courtois has ousted Petr Cech from between the sticks.

Many people's picks for the title, Chelsea have a new-look frontline - with Fernando Torres, Demba Ba and Samuel Eto'o all leaving and Didier Drogba and Loic Remy also coming in.

All Premier League clubs were required to submit their squads to the authorities following the closure of the transfer window.

However, teams are still able to register free agents who they sign after today, while the loan window opens in just a few days' time, on September 9.

Under the current rules, a club must have no more than 17 players who are ineligible for 'Home Grown Player' status, but can name as many U-21s as they like, over and above the limit of 25 players.

To qualify as home-grown, a player must have been registered with any club tied to the Football Association or Football Association of Wales for at least three whole seasons or 36 months prior to their 21st birthday, however it does not have to have been in one continuous stretch.

Clubs will only be able to make changes to their squad - excluding emergency loans and free agent signings - once the transfer window reopens on January 1 2015.
