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.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City
Having done the Premier League double over City in 2019-20 under Nuno Espirito Santo, Wolves have now lost their last six against the Citizens by an aggregate score of 19-3. Is another heavy defeat on the cards for the hosts, or might they spring a surprise? Kick-off is fast approaching in the West Midlands!

City are also missing a midfielder through suspension after Rodri saw red in last week's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Kovacic takes his place in the centre of the park alongside Matheus, who is sure to get a frosty reception on his return to Molineux. In the only other change to the team which beat Forest, Ake replaces Gvardiol at the back, while a series of injuries leave Guardiola unable to fill his bench.

After rotating for Tuesday's 3-2 cup defeat at Ipswich, O'Neil makes one enforced change to the team that started last week's draw at Luton. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde serves the second game of his three-match ban after being dismissed at Kenilworth Road, so Toti comes in as Wolves switch to a back three. Tommy Doyle is ineligible against his parent club, so Hodge takes his spot on the bench.
