Mauricio Pochettino faces a tough welcome back to the Premier League after the fixtures for the 2023-24 Premier League campaign were released.
Pochettino has returned as the new Chelsea boss, eager to improve on last season's 12th place finish in a campaign that featured four different managers, either permanently and temporarily.
And waiting for the Argentine on his return to English football will be Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp, who ended his Tottenham team's quest for Champions League glory back in 2019.
With Anfield still being redeveloped, that encounter will take place at Stamford Bridge on Sunday August 13 at 4:30pm, and will be shown live on Sky Sports.
Important dates in the diary include a first reunion for Pochettino with his former club on November 4 amid a tricky run of fixtures ahead of the festive period.
