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.

West Ham United vs Everton
West Ham and Everton played out a goalless draw at the London Stadium, with Pickford's herorics towards the end frustrating the home side and under-pressure manager Lopetegui. The first half was a drab affair, with neither side creating much in the way of chances. Everton did control large swathes of the match in terms of possession but created very little opportunities, with Lindstrom's header in the second half the closest they came to finding a winner. West Ham were poor but still managed to create the best chances, with Pickford called into action to save from Rodriguez and then from two shots by substiute Ings with not long to go, including a stunning one-handed save with virtually the last action of the match. West Ham generated an xG of 1.00 to Everton's 0.97, and they both stay in 14th and 16th in the table respectively. Neither side will be content with a point as the final international break of the year approaches. Thank you and goodbye!

INCREDIBLE! WHAT A SAVE! Paqueta finds Ings who strikes a stinging shot which deflects off Tarkowski and it needs the fingertips of England's number one goalkeeper to tip it over the crossbar! He's single-handedly saved a point for his side there.

GOOD SAVE! Ings does well to find some space in the box before striking a low, curling effort which Pickford gets down to save! The substitutions have helped West Ham and they look the stronger during these final few minutes!
