Steve Freeth's Thoughts:

Manchester City have only just completed the treble and we’re already talking about next season, where they’re to go one further and win the quadruple!

They did hammer Burnley in the FA Cup on the way to their historic trophy haul, and they’re strongly fancied to get off to a flyer at Turf Moor with the hosts priced at for a shock.

The most eye-catching fixture is at Stamford Bridge with Pochettino making his Premier League return - we’re he gets off to a perfect start as the two underperforming giants from last season meet.

Luton must earn their stripes early doors, with the Hatters having been dealt a tough start with a trip to impressive favourites Brighton.
