Man City's first six Premier League fixtures compared to Liverpool, Arsenal and title rivals

Manchester City have been handed a tough start to the Premier League season as they will face three of the traditional 'Big Six' clubs in their opening six fixtures.

After an away trip to Wolves to kick off their season, City welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the Etihad Stadium for the first home game of their campaign.

They then make the difficult trip to Brighton before taking on Manchester United at home in the first Manchester derby of the season.

Pep Guardiola's side will then travel to Arsenal before returning home against newly promoted Burnley.

As such, we should be able to get a decent gauge of where City's title credentials are at after the opening six games of the season but how does their start to the season compare to their title rivals?

Liverpool and Arsenal have also been handed bruising starts to the season. Arne Slot's side face a trip to Newcastle and a home game with the Gunners inside their opening three fixtures, while Mikel Arteta's men start the season with a trip to Manchester United before taking on four of last season's top seven in their next five matches.

Newcastle also have a brutal start to the season as they face a trip to Aston Villa and a home game with Liverpool in their opening two matches and a home clash against Arsenal within their opening six matches, too.

Villa will not face a team who finished in the top eight last season after their opening day clash against Newcastle, while Chelsea also have a favourable start to the season with a trip to Manchester United arguably their toughest fixture.

The FIFA Club World Cup will see 32 of the world's best club teams including Man City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, PSG and Bayern Munich play across 63 games from June 14-July 13.
