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.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
WHAT A CHANCE FOR WOLVES! The visitors should be ahead again, but Vicario has bailed his team out! Dawson sprays a wonderful pass out to Semedo on the right-hand side, and he immediately plays it low into the centre for Sarabia. The Spaniard shoots first-time, but Vicario stands up to smother it and Van de Ven completes the clearance.

Kulusevski's goal has, of course, extended Tottenham's scoring streak to 37 successive Premier League games. Twenty-five of those have come under Postecoglou, who has been a breath of fresh air since arriving last year.

Maddison sprays it wide to Son, who looks to hit the byline and cross, only to send his delivery straight into the gloves of Sa. Wolves, though, immediately concede possession again through Kilman. It's all Tottenham at present.

Wolves just need to enjoy a spell on the ball to take the sting out of this game. Spurs are well on top, with Emerson stepping infield to win a free-kick off Toti. This set-piece is around 30 yards out in a central position, and Maddison is over it.

Tottenham have conceded first in three previous home Premier League games this season, and they have gone on to win all of those matches – against Sheffield United, Brentford and Brighton. Can they go on to complete the turnaround now?

OVER! Tottenham's tails are up now! Kilman concedes a corner, which Maddison swings into the six-yard box. Richarlison gets there first, but he can't keep his header down!

Wolves have only had around 35 per cent of the possession so far, but they have managed six shots to Tottenham's five, five attempts on target to none for the hosts, and have generated 0.58 expected goals (xG) to Spurs' 0.37. The longer this game goes on, the more the likes of Neto, Hwang and Sarabia will look to exploit Tottenham's high line on the break.
