New Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, will receive an immediate baptism of fire from his mentor, Pep Guardiola, as the London club host champions Manchester City, in the opening week of the 2024/25 Premier League season.
The Premier League released the fixtures on Tuesday, with all 360 matches across 38 weeks listed.
Manchester United will open the league season with a clash at Old Trafford against Fulham on Friday, August 14th. The Red Devils endured their worst season in the modern EPL era last season, finishing in eighth position and only making Europe via their FA Cup victory–which guaranteed them a place in the UEFA Europa League next season.
The club manager, Erik ten Hag, was given another chance to revive the club’s fortune after the FA Cup victory despite rumours of his sack prior to the final showpiece.
Liverpool will also begin life without Jurgen Klopp for the first time in 10 years, when Arne Slot’s side visits newly promoted sides, Ipswich Town. Last season’s runners up, Arsenal, will host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium.
The opening week of the new EPL season will end with Leicester City hosting Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium, on their return to the top flight after a one-year absence due to relegation.
Baring any unforeseen circumstances, the 2024/2025 EPL season is expected to end on May 25, 2025.
