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:
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
The full-time whistle blows to bring a quite magnificent contest to an end with Chelsea claiming a 4-3 away victory over Tottenham. It was the hosts who started very brightly, with Solanke putting them ahead after just five minutes before Kulusevski made it 2-0 just six minutes later. Chelsea responded, however, first halving the deficit through Sancho's brilliant long-range strike before Palmer levelled from the spot just after the hour mark. Fernandez completed the turnaround with a thunderous effort, before another Palmer penalty put the game beyond Spurs, despite Son pulling a goal back deep into stoppage time. It's a win that moves Chelsea just four points behind leaders Liverpool, though they have played a game more than the Reds, while Spurs and under-fire Postecoglou remain 11th. These sides are both in European action next time out on Thursday, when Tottenham will travel to take on Rangers while Chelsea will visit Astana. That's all we have for you from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, so thanks for your company and goodbye!
