The Premier League fixture list for the upcoming 2023/24 season has been announced.
It may only be a few weeks since Manchester City lifted the Premier League trophy and Manchester United finished third in Erik ten Hag’s first year at the club but preparations have already been put in place for next season. Pep Guardiola will be aiming to emulate the club’s historic treble, while United will be looking to add more silverware after winning the League Cup.
City are set to get the ball rolling on the new season as they travel to Vincent Kompany’s newly-promoted Burnley side for a Friday night game on August 11, with the first round of games ending with United’s home game against Wolves on Monday, August 14. Here’s a look at what games have been selected for TV on the opening weekend:
