The upcoming 2024/25 Premier League season is on the horizon, with the complete fixture list now available for fans.
Manchester City enters the new season as the reigning champions, led by Pep Guardiola who secured an unprecedented fourth consecutive league title in the 2023/24 season.
Despite their success, City failed to maintain their trophy streak from the previous season as Real Madrid ousted them in the UEFA Champions League, and Manchester United defeated them in the FA Cup final.
Excitement builds as all 20 teams gear up for a fresh start, including the promoted sides Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton, making their return to the top flight from the EFL Championship.
