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.

SAVE! Palmer capitalises on a loose ball before dancing inside and slotting a left-footed strike through Richards' legs. Henderson, despite being unsighted, stays central and makes a routine stop in the middle of his goal.

HUGE STOP! Palace seem to be settling for a point but the Eagles almost strike against the run of play. Franca bursts through the middle before unleashing a fizzing right-footed rocket towards the bottom-left corner. Petrovic sees it all the way, though, and parries away a vital save.

There is an initial delay from Chelsea's corner as Andersen and Colwill shove one another inside the Palace box. Once referee Oliver has calmed the situation down, Gallagher delivers towards the far post, where Richards easily heads away.

The Chelsea players surround referee Oliver after Andersen climbs over the back of Nkunku. The visitors want a penalty but have to settle for a left-sided corner after the VAR sticks with the original decision.

Nkunku has scored two goals in five Premier League appearances for Chelsea, both as a sub and has ended on the losing side in both, against Wolves and Liverpool. He’s one of only two players to score in more than one Premier League game for the Blues and lose both, along with Laurent Charvet. Can the France international make a late impact here?
