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.

Newcastle United vs Aston Villa

Newcastle only lost twice at home last season and started their season at St. James' Park with an emphatic win over Aston Villa. Next up, they travel to Premier League champions Manchester City. As for Villa, they will be disappointed that the game escaped them after equalising. They will be looking to secure their first victory of the season when they host Everton.

Newcastle United vs Aston Villa

Newcastle trashed Aston Villa to move to the top of the Premier League table. Tonali opened the scoring on his debut, darting onto a cross from Gordon to poke his attempt past Martinez. Diaby then crashed in an equaliser on his first start for Villa before the Magpies took complete control of the fixture. Isak scored either side of half-time to give Newcastle a comfortable advantage, with Cash missing a glorious chance to half the deficit. Wilson was unfortunate not to start but came off the bench to score his first of the season, getting on the end of an inviting pass across the box from Barnes. The former Leicester man then netted his first and Newcastle's fifth, rushing onto the end of a throughball from Murphy before curling his effort into the bottom corner.

Murphy ignores a run from Barnes before chipping a pass over the top of Villa's defence towards Wilson. The striker looks to have beaten Konza, but the centre-back gets back to slide the ball away.

Luiz is over a free-kick on the right and looks for the top corner from a narrow-angle, but Pope reads his intentions and pushes it behind for a corner.
