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:

Somehow it's all square at the break here as Leicester drag themselves over the line for the interval. Adingra has been a constant thorn in the Foxes side, with a string of chances for the Ivory Coast international, but it was Pedro's penalty that gave Brighton a deserved lead. Leicester's sporadic threat yielded a goal against the run of play, as Mavididi got the better of Verbruggen, but the hosts have created enough to be in front.

Justin gets a little too close to Adingra over on the far side and concedes a free kick plus a final waring from referee Bond. Brighton work the set piece quickly but Pedro's rushed effort from 15 yards is dragged wide.

From a first-half that was lacking in spark, Mavididi's equaliser has galvanised Leicester, but they are living dangerously at the back. O'Riley ghosts in between Okoli and Coady in the box but he cannot get enough on a diving header to test Hermansen.
