Premier League fixtures: Manchester City open at Burnley, Liverpool at Chelsea

Manchester City will begin their push for a record fourth consecutive Premier League title away to Vincent Kompany’s Burnley. The Treble winners will visit Turf Moor to face their former captain’s promoted side on the evening of Friday 11 August to raise the curtain on the 2023-24 campaign.

The outstanding fixture of the opening weekend will be at Stamford Bridge, where Mauricio Pochettino starts life as Chelsea manager against Liverpool on Sunday 13 August, with both sides looking to bounce back after disappointing campaigns.

Arsenal, after an anticlimactic conclusion to last season’s title challenge, open at home to Nottingham Forest in Saturday’s lunchtime game, with fellow Champions League qualifiers Newcastle hosting Aston Villa that evening and Manchester United beginning against Wolves at Old Trafford on Monday 14 August.
