This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession. Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City, who also won the Champions League and FA Cup last season, will have to see off Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest to claim an unprecedented sixth league title in seven years.
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.

Bournemouth have had a strong start and are controlling possession in Newcastle's half. They have had a corner on the right and a free-kick on the left in the first few minutes, but both have come to nothing.

Bournemouth have only four goals in their last five outings and are winless in that time, but the Cherries will be encouraged by Newcastle’s poor defensive record at St. James' Park. The Magpies have shipped 10 goals in their last three home Premier League games, conceding at least three times in each game, as many goals as they had conceded in their previous 16 at home combined. They have never conceded three or more goals in four consecutive home league games in their history.
