Premier League fixture news

Manchester City will take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the standout fixture of the first weekend of the 2024-25 Premier League campaign.

The schedule was released for the new season yesterday and the defending champions are 4-5 with Coral and Ladbrokes to open up with a victory in west London on Sunday August 18.

The first match of the season will see Fulham travel to Manchester United on Friday August 16. The Cottagers are 5-1 with BoyleSports to secure back-to-back victories at Old Trafford having won 2-1 there in February.

It looks set to be a baptism of fire for the promoted sides with Ipswich entertaining Liverpool at Portman Road in the Saturday lunchtime kick-off on August 17.

The Reds are 4-11 with bet365, Coral and Ladbrokes to start life under new boss Arne Slot in the right manner, while the Tractor Boys are a general 15-2 to mark their return to the top flight with a huge shock.

Championship champions Leicester will host the first Monday Night Football match of the season on August 19 and are 9-2 to get the better of 5-6 Tottenham, while Southampton are 6-1 to win on their testing trip to Newcastle in their first fixture after promotion as playoff winners.

Arsenal are 4-11 to begin with a win at home to Wolves as they look to go one better than last season’s second-placed finish.
