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:
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest

Well, Forest haven't had too many forays forward in these opening exchanges, but they now have a precious lead and something to hold onto. Are Nuno's men on their way to another impressive away win?

PENALTY TO FOREST!!! Forest will have a huge opportunity to take the lead after Baleba is deemed to have brought down Hudson-Odoi. Gibbs-White's cross ends up loose in the box, and in Baleba's attempts to reach the ball before Hudson-Odoi, he brings down the former Chelsea man. The referee has a good old think about it before pointing to the spot!

A neat Brighton move ends with Adingra firing a low delivery across the face of goal, though Mitoma doesn't gamble at the back post and the ball goes harmlessly behind for a goal-kick.
