The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
Arsenal post their third straight North London derby success in the Premier League, beating a tame Tottenham side 2-1 at the Emirates to move within four points of top spot. All three goals came during an absorbing first half, as Son struck against the run of play with a deflected effort, before a Solanke own-goal and Trossard's precise finish turned the game on its head shortly before the break. Despite making some attacking substitutions in the second half, Spurs failed to create many chances to draw level, with Porro coming closest deep into stoppage time, when he rattled the post. Tottenham finished with an xG of 0.83 to their hosts' 1.42, and with that defeat they have now lost 11 games in the Premier League this season - their joint-most at this stage of any campaign. Arteta's second league double over Spurs sees his side cut their deficit to leaders Liverpool, and after taking some time to celebrate, they will soon switch focus to Saturday's game against Aston Villa. Meanwhile, 13th-placed Tottenham must try to stop the rot by beating Everton one day later. That's all from out live coverage today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

OFF THE POST! From the tightest of angles, Porro drives a rocket against the outside of the right-hand post! Kulusevski slipped him in down the right, and the Spurs full-back lets fly - so close to a late leveller!

Porro curls in a cross towards Solanke, who is left with little choice other than to try an acrobatic attempt. However, he can only catch the ball with his shin, and it flies off target by some distance. That sums up his - and Tottenham's - day.

There will be at least five minutes of stoppage time for Arsenal to see out, as they near a crucial victory. Doing the derby double this season would take them within four points of top spot in the Premier League.
