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:
Brentford vs Newcastle United
MASSIVE CHANCE! It's almost 3-2 to Newcastle! This time, it's Barnes who looks to turn provider as he drives towards the byline and hangs up a teasing cross at the back post. Murphy, gets on the end of the delivery but can only direct his header onto the roof of the net.
Brentford vs Newcastle United
There was three minutes and 17 seconds between Brentford's first goal and Newcastle's first goal, while there was three minutes and 32 seconds between Brentford second goal and Newcastle's second goal. What a game!

Brentford vs Newcastle United
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has never lost a Premier League game against Brentford (W5 D1), one of three sides he’s faced without losing along with Swansea (W4 D2) and Leeds (W1 D2). Having won each of his last five against the Bees, he’s looking to win six league games in a row against an opponent for the first time in his entire managerial career.
Brentford vs Newcastle United
CLOSE! It's Newcastle's turn to come forward. The visitors break down the right-hand side through Livramento, who finds Isak in a wide area unmarked. The Sweden international delivers a cross into the box which Van den Berg clears, but Guimaraes gratefully runs onto it. The Brazilian has an effort on goal but his shot flashes just past the post with Flekken beaten.

OVER! Brentford break forward with pace once again. This time, Schar needlessly gives the ball away to Carvalho on the halfway line before the midfielder feeds Thiago down the left-hand side. The striker tees up Yamoliuk on the inside but his effort sails well over the crossbar.
Brentford vs Newcastle United
WHAT A CHANCE FOR NEWCASTLE! Isak is far too strong for Collins, as the Swede barges the Brentford defender over on the touchline. The striker is clean through on goal and rounds Flekken, but then takes far too long to slot in and Flekken scoops the ball away. That should have been 2-1!
