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.

It has been an exciting start to the second half with chances for both teams already. Neutrals will certainly be hoping for more of the same as the half goes on.

HOW DID HE MISS THAT?! Alexander-Arnold produces another sublime long ball down the line for Salah to run onto. The latter crosses to the far post, where Nunez is unable to head into the empty net from inside the six-yard box.

GOOD SAVE! Villa attack down the other end and Cash attacks Digne's deep cross at the far post. But Alisson produces a brilliant reflex save to deny him.

Szoboszlai cleverly skips away from Digne and fizzes the ball across the penalty area. It eventually breaks kindly for Salah, who fires over from distance.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa

Villa have carried a decent attack threat during the first half, but are yet to register a shot on target. That is something the visitors must address after the break to have any chance of getting back into this game.

Liverpool lead Aston Villa by two goals to nil at Anfield. The Reds took the lead after just three minutes thanks to Szoboszlai's sweet strike, while Cash's own-goal doubled the advantage after Nunez had hit the post.
