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.

Yellow Card Christopher Paul Basham
Tottenham Hotspur vs Sheffield United
Maddison scoops an inside pass towards Bissouma, who immediately clips the ball forward to Son. He's dispossessed by Ahmedhodzic before he can pull the trigger though, but was correctly called offside regardless of the outcome.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Sheffield United
Maddison wins a free-kick on halfway and strides forward after taking it quickly. He's got ample space to shoot in, but his final effort from the edge of the area is woeful, and he drags the disappointing shot straight into Foderingham's gloves.

SAVED!!! Both goalkeepers come to their sides' rescue! Bogle sprints down the right to keep Basham's long ball forward in play, and finds McAtee arriving late in the box. His first-time effort looks bound for the bottom corner, but Vicario sticks out a leg to parry the ball away!

SAVED!!! Spurs are in total control at the moment. Maddison can't find shooting space on the edge of the area, but Son does and sends a curling effort towards the far corner, which is heading for goal before Foderingham dives across to tip the effort around the outside of the post!

WHAT A STOP!!! Spurs pile numbers forward and Kulusevski tees up Bissouma on the edge of the box. The Malian midfielder dances through the stretched defence to find himself one-on-one with Foderingham, but the final shot is saved and held at the goalkeeper's front post!

Kulusevski cuts inside to swing a cross into the box, but a far-post header from the arriving Sarr doesn't have the power necessary to trouble Foderingham.

A sensational drop of the shoulder from Maddison allows him to turn into space and head towards goal. He spreads the play right for Porro to cross, but the right-back's ball in is easily cleared by Souza for Sheffield United.

Sheffield United have lost 14 of their 15 previous Premier League matches against sides starting the day in the top two, with the only exception a 2-1 win away at Manchester United in January 2021.
