The wait for the Premier League season is finally over as we begin the defence of our trophy this weekend.

Pep Guardiola’s side kicked off the season by collecting the Community Shield on Saturday with victory over Manchester United at Wembley.

Now the focus switches to trying to win the Premier League title for a fifth successive season.

The campaigns of our EDS and Under-18s team also begin at the weekend while the women’s team continue preparations for a pre-season tour to Australia later this month.
