But all eyes will be on Premier League player of the season Phil Foden on Sunday when Manchester City begins to mount the defense of the Premier League title against Chelsea, who will look to Cole Palmer, a nominee for the PFA Young Player of the Season, to kick-off their season with a win at Stamford Bridge.
