Arsenal will begin the defence of their Premier League title against newly-promoted Coventry City on the opening day of the new season in August.

The opening round of fixtures in the English top flight fall on the weekend of 22 and 23 August – a week later than usual due to this summer’s World Cup.

Mikel Arteta’s side clinched their first title in 22 years last term having seen off Manchester City in a tight title race. City’s first game without Pep Guardiola at the helm is against Bournemouth.

Manchester United, who finished third after Michael Carrick’s arrival in January, are in action away to newly promoted Hull City.

Andoni Iraola’s first competitive game in charge of Liverpool is away to Newcastle United.

Chelsea also have a new man in the dugout with Xabi Alonso tasked with lifting them from their slump after a dismal 10th place finish last season. They start the new campaign away to Fulham in a west London derby.

Tottenham, after surviving relegation on the last day back in May, take on Brentford.
