The countdown to the Premier League season is underway after the season's fixtures were released in full.
The campaign is to get underway on a Friday evening once again this year with the first kick-off coming at Old Trafford. Manchester United welcome Fulham as the division begins with a bang after a long summer off due to Euro 2024 and the Copa America.
Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna will host Arne Slot and Liverpool at Portman Road, as each coach takes charge of their first Premier League match. Familiar friends will face off as Manchester City get their title defence started at Stamford Bridge where former Pep Guardiola assistant Enzo Maresca now has the hot seat.
The opening weekend sees fixtures take place over four days, with kick-off times already confirmed. Fans will have to wait a little longer for kick-offs to be released for the remainder of August's matches.
It never takes long for eyes to be cast on Boxing Day for festive football fun. Chelsea face Fulham in what will see the shortest trip for away supporters to make while Aston Villa fans will be tasked with the journey north to Newcastle with Chrismas leftovers for a packed lunch.
There could be some testing final matches if the Premier League's positions are decided in the final moments. Arsenal pushed Manchester City to the last game in 2023/24 and if they do the same again will face a trip to Southampton, while Guardiola's side travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham.
Old Trafford will host Aston Villa in a clash that could prove decisive for European football. All games on the final day will kick off at 4pm.
