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:

Half chances are rife. Anderson has been blocked, but aside from that, nothing of note.

Amongst the tangent of Vardy updates, Forest have been working good positions. However, it's the final ball that is missing. Hudson-Odoi and Anderson have both been guilty of rushing in the final third just now. Pace and intensity is one thing, but someone must step up and really allow the Trees to play at a speed not dictated to by a ravenous crowd.

More Vardy stats anyone? Aged 37 years and 288 days, the cunning hitman is the fourth-oldest player to score in back-to-back Premier League appearances, after only Teddy Sheringham (39y 350d), Ryan Giggs (39y 86d) and Graham Alexander (38y 28d).

With his earlier strike, Vardy has now scored against 28 of the 32 opponents he has faced in the Premier League.

Inspired by his earlier industrious assist, Winks fires as a yard of space opens up. The ball sails over the bar.

Hermansen! What a save! The end-to-end nature continues in this one as the Dane pulls out a great stop from Dominguez! The Argentine smashes on goal after the ball spills out kindly from a mid-box skirmish and a firm leg pokes it behind. In the next phase, mass confusion sees Vardy clear the ball, but slam it against his own man. As it goes goalward with a red shirt lurking, the Dane reacts again to tip away!

Forest go from back to front as Hudson-Odoi feeds Elanga on the left. He's only got Wood up with him, yet his cross is way too high and powerful and floats away harmlessly.
