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.

Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton's European charge has been dented somewhat by recent struggles in the league, winning just three of their last nine Premier League outings to leave them in ninth heading into this one, six points behind sixth-placed United. However, a shock win here would see the Seagulls leapfrog West Ham into seventh, and that should provide the motivation needed to bounce back from crashing out of the Europa League after defeat over two legs against Roma before the international pause.

This could be a pivotal weekend in the title race, with leaders Arsenal set to take on third-placed Manchester City later on Sunday. Ahead of that game, though, Liverpool will bid to keep their own title charge on course with victory at a ground where they are so strong, winning 11 of their 14 games at Anfield in this season's Premier League and yet to taste defeat on home soil, the best record in the division. Prior to the international break, however, Liverpool suffered late heartbreak away at rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup as Amad Diallo's extra-time winner condemned the Reds to a 4-3 defeat.
