Chelsea to face Manchester City in Premier League season opener

The fixtures for the 2024/2025 English Premier League (EPL) season are out. The season kicks off on 16th August 2024, and ends on 25th May, 2025.

Ahead of the new season, some top teams like Liverpool and Chelsea have already made changes in the dugout, while some, the likes of Manchester United have decided against any managerial changes at this point in time.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was reportedly on the chopping board, before those who call the shots at OldTrafford kept faith in him, after against all odds, beating Manchester City 2-1 to clinch the FA cup last month.

Enzo Maresca, formerly of Leicester City has taken the reins at Stamford Bridge, replacing Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, who left the London side on mutual consent at the end of last season.

The biggest change has however taken place at Anfield, with Dutchman Arne Slot taking over from  Jurgen Klopp. The German tactician left the Reds after 9 successful years in charge.

The season starts on August 16, 2024, with Manchester United opening its campaign against Fulham.
