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.

After dragging themselves back into the match having gone two goals down within minutes of kick-off, Manchester United complete a spirited comeback to beat Nottingham Forest and extend their long winning streak at Old Trafford. Posting an eighth straight league win on home turf - and their 11th in a row versus Forest - United ultimately needed captain Fernandes to fire home a second-half winner from the penalty spot, leaving their 10-man visitors floored.

Aina pumps a long throw in to the box from the left, but McTominay rises highest to head the ball away from danger. Forest are persistent, though, and keep flooding forward in search of an equaliser.

As McTominay receives treatment for a blow to the head, Forest boss Cooper stands on the touchline, clearly frustrated by how events have unfolded here at the Theatre of Dreams. Can his 10-man team somehow salvage something from this game in the final few minutes?

For an angry coming-together with Kouyate near the corner flag, which he inevitably initiated, Fernandes is booked by the referee.

Afforded space in the centre of the pitch, Rashford races forward and tries his luck from 20 yards, but after seeing his first shot blocked he then stumbles over his follow-up and possession is turned over.
