Pep Guardiola’s reign in the Premier League with Manchester City gets underway at the Etihad against Sunderland.

Champions Leicester begin their title defence away to newly-promoted Hull.

Ronald Koeman begins life as Everton boss with a tough home game against Tottenham while his former club Southampton host Watford.

Last season’s Championship winners Burnley start off against Swansea at home and fellow new-boys Middlesbrough welcome Stoke at the Riverside Stadium.

West Brom travel to Crystal Palace as both clubs look to build on disappointing bottom-half finishes last time out.
