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:

Huge relief for the home fans at the King Power Stadium as Leicester battle over the line to a first top-flight win of the season. Cooper's team were forced to dig deep throughout the second half, with Faes and Okoli excellent at the heart of the Foxes defence, as they constantly slammed the door on the Cherries. The hosts ended the game with an xG of 0.61, compared to Bournemouth's 1.41, but the only number they will care about is Buonanotte's winner.
