The Premier League announced Tuesday its full slate of games for the 2024-25 season.

The campaign will kick off Aug. 16, when Manchester United hosts Fulham. The opening weekend's headline fixture will see reigning champion Manchester City head to Stamford Bridge on Aug. 18 to face off with Chelsea.

Runner-up Arsenal wasn't done much favors, either. The Gunners have a winnable matchup with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Matchday 1, but they'll have their mettle tested in the first month.

Conversely, Liverpool couldn't have asked for a much better start to the Arne Slot era. The Reds take on newly promoted Ipswich Town to kick things off and then play Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Wolves and Crystal Palace. While United will be a difficult test, it's also a great opportunity for Slot to set a tone early on.

The Premier League was decided by five points or fewer in each of the last three seasons, so the final few weeks have been decisive in determining a champion.

Looking ahead to the spring, Chelsea hosts Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on May 3. That could have significant implications toward the title race or sorting out battle for a Champions League place. The Reds turn around and host Arsenal on May 10 in what could be an equally pivotal fixture.

Assuming Manchester City is once again setting the pace, its rivals for the trophy may not get much in the way of help down the stretch. Pep Guardiola's squad closes with Wolves Southampton, Bournemouth and Fulham in the final month, and it's tough to see the club dropping many points across that period.
