When does the Premier League start and who are the favourites? Who are the new player signings? Al Jazeera Sport explains.
It’s mid-August, which in football terms can mean only one thing – it’s time to kick off a new season of the English Premier League (EPL).
This season’s competition promises to be one of the most exciting ever with several contenders primed to fight it out in the nine-month-long tournament.
Here is all to know ahead of the new season:
FA Cup winners United host Fulham on Friday at Old Trafford in Manchester in the first match of the new season.
The opening week will be headlined by defending champions City’s away game at London’s Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, who will be playing under new coach Enzo Maresca after Mauricio Pochettino left after just one season in charge.
