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:

Meanwhile, Julen Lopetegui’s tenure as West Ham head coach began with a 2-1 loss at home to Aston Villa, with one of the Hammers’ summer transfer targets Jhon Duran netting the winner for Unai Emery’s side. One of Lopetegui’s main tasks will be to integrate his new signings into his first eleven, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Niclas Fullkrug, Crysencio Summerville and Jean-Clair Todibo all hoping to start from the outset. The Hammers head into today’s enthralling London derby having lost each of their last three Premier League games against fellow London rivals, with their last two seeing them lose 5-2 at Palace and 5-0 against Chelsea.
Crystal Palace vs West Ham United
Crystal Palace will be hoping to secure their first win of the Premier League season following an unfortunate defeat against Brentford last weekend. The Eagles were made to rue a refereeing howler from Sam Barrott, who admitted after the match that he made a mistake by blowing his whistle too early to disallow a brilliant first-half free-kick from Eberechi Eze. Palace will be without centre-back Joachim Andersen and forward Jordan Ayew following their moves to Fulham and Leicester City respectively, however, Olivier Glasner will be hoping for a positive performance from Marc Guehi amid continued speculation linking the England international with a move to Newcastle United.
