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:
West Ham United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wow, check complete...no penalty. That is a huge call, O'Neil is fuming and you can understand why. On first glance that looked pretty clear-cut.

HUGE MOMENT! That's a big shout for a Wolves penalty. Guedes takes Cunha's pass and is bundled to the area by Emerson. The VAR is going to have a look at this one...

Oh what has Guedes tried there? Cunha plays a dangerous ball in from the left that the Portuguese winger tries to acrobatically steer goalwards. He had Bellegarde behind him in a much better position.

Kudus did well to bring the ball out of the air, flick it past the defender, then drill it wide of the right post from 20 yards. That would have been some goal but it was well wide in the end.

Yep, there we have it confirmed as ruled out. Summerville played Bowen in the penalty area and the England forward flashed a great ball across the face of goal that Kudus tapped in from six yards. But he went too early and it remains 1-0 West Ham.
