The first weekend of the Premier League season is now just a matter of hours away, with all 20 clubs keen to get off to a winning start as the curtain for the 2014/15 season is raised.

It was also be the first chance clubs get to see some of their new signings in action, including these ten who are all due to make their Premier League debuts for their clubs in the coming days:

Diego Costa (Chelsea)

Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been in fine form during their pre-season campaign and is expected to solve the club’s problems upfront, where he is likely to start as the lone strikers when the Blues travel to Burnley on Monday evening.

Ander Herrera (Manchester United)

A lot of pressure is on the shoulders of young Spanish central midfielder Ander Herrera this season, with the former Athletic Bilbao man expected to help solve United’s midfield problems – starting against Swansea City on Saturday lunchtime.

Remy Cabella (Newcastle United)

Newcastle struggled in the second half of last season without a replacement for PSG midfielder Yohan Cabaye – but their next Ligue 1 acquisition, Remy Cabella from Montpellier, will be looking to change that.

Dusan Tadic (Southampton)

Winger Dusan Tadic was superb last season for FC Twente with his direct running and creativity from out wide, something that is needed in the Southampton side after their flurry of summer departures.

Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal)

Winger Alexis Sanchez is set to make his Premier League debut for Arsenal in the Community Shield last weekend, with a lot of pressure on the Chilean to live up to his price tag and the hype surrounding him following a move to the Emirates Stadium from Barcelona.

Bojan Krkic (Stoke City)

Bojan has looked in fine fettle for Stoke City during pre-season, and will be looking to show some of his early potential during his spell in the Premier League, starting at the weekend for Mark Hughes and his side.

Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea)

Cesc Fabregas is set to make his second Premier League debut – this time for Chelsea, rather than London rivals Arsenal. All eyes will be on the Spaniard at Turf Moor on Monday, to see whether he can seamlessly slip back into life in English football.

Lazar Markovic (Liverpool)

Liverpool new boy Lazar Markovic has a reputation as an exciting and fleet-footed winger, something that he will be looking to show when the Reds face Southampton on Sunday.

Romelu Lukaku (Everton)

Striker Romelu Lukaku is set to make his second Everton debut this weekend, after his loan move to Goodison Park was made permanent for a club record fee. The Belgian will be looking to maintain his impressive goalscoring record from last season, starting against newly promoted Leicester City.

Dejan Lovren (Liverpool)

Dejan Lovren could prove to be the most important signing of Liverpool’s summer, with the defence having been their Achilles heel last season – the Croatian international is set for a Reds debut against former club Southampton on Sunday.
