This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession.

Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.

West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
Bournemouth, meanwhile, will be heading into this fixture full of confidence after their comprehensive 5-0 win against Swansea in the FA CUP fifth round last Thursday. The Cherries, however, have lost their last two Premier League games and are winless against the Hammers in their last five games (D2, L3). A win tonight would move Andoni Iraola's side above Fulham and into 12th after the Cottagers drew 0-0 with Everton on Tuesday.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
After falling to a disappointing late draw against Sheffield United, West Ham enjoyed a much-needed time to reset with the Hammers not in FA Cup fourth-round action last weekend. David Moyes' side will be looking for an immediate reaction, though, having failed to win any of their last four games prior to today. It's been a busy day of outgoings in the transfer market but those fans travelling to the London Stadium tonight will be keen to see three points from those still in the squad as their side look to put pressure on Aston Villa in fifth following their defeat to Newcastle on Tuesday.
