There is just one week until the 2024/25 Premier League season begins. Manchester United and Fulham will play in the campaign opening fixture at Old Trafford. Look at everything you need to know before the English league begins.
The start of the 2024/25 Premier League is just around the corner. Manchester City won an unprecedented fourth straight league title in May 2024 when the Sky Blues beat West Ham 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s men did not have it easy, as they won the English trophy by 91 points, just two points ahead of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. The Gunners saw their dreams of domestic triumph dashed by City for the second season in a row.
The north London side will be looking to join forces this season to lift their coveted Premier League trophy, but they will have to overcome their rivals, who are a tough nut to crack.
Liverpool were also in the title race for several weeks, even leading it, but their efforts were not enough to keep up with City and Arsenal, which could be very different this term, as could their squad. German manager Jurgen Klopp bid farewell to Anfield in May after almost nine years in charge of the Reds.
