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:

CHANCE! Zirkzee plays in Bruno Fernandes and he goes to clip it over Ramsdale from a tight angle but Ramsdale makes himself big to make the save. That was a chance.

It's all just a bit...meh. The home side just look a little jaded and afraid to try things. They have had their chances in this game but Southampton could also have a bigger lead. Zirkzee thinks he should have a corner when Ramsdale makes a clearance (it did look a good yard out) and Garnacho has a weak effort...but it's not quite happening.

United have had 79 per cent possession in the last five minutes just to highlight how things are shaping up. But Southampton are still looking pretty comfortable thus far.

And it's another change from the visitors as Aribo, whose provided excellent energy in Southampton's midfield, is replaced by Downes.
