This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession.

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.
Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.
Fulham vs Nottingham Forest
Forest have lost four of their last five games in the Premier League and are currently one place and two points behind Fulham. The Tricky Trees recovered well from their demolition at the hands of Liverpool to beat European hopefuls Aston Villa at the City Ground but have since been unable to collect any points in their previous three matches. Steve Cooper’s side lost 3-2 to West Ham at London Stadium before their eight-match unbeaten streak at home ended with back-to-back defeats against Brighton and Everton. Forest are six points above the relegation zone but must improve their away form to stay away from the drop zone. They have only collected a draw in their last four fixtures on their travels, failing to score on three occasions.
Fulham vs Nottingham Forest
Fulham have only won one of their last six matches in the Premier League, losing four and conceding 13 goals. However, Marco Silva’s side will gain confidence from their resilient performance at Anfield in their last outing. The Cottagers battled back from behind twice to lead against Liverpool before losing 4-3 after late quick-fire strikes from Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Fulham are sitting comfortably in 14th position in the table and are eight points above the relegation zone. Three of Fulham’s victories have come at home this campaign, including their most recent home win over Wolves. They will also take encouragement from the fact they have beaten Forest in seven of their last nine fixtures (losing two) and did the double over them last season.
