Defending champion Arsenal will begin their title defense campaign with a match against Coventry City, who have just returned to the Premier League after 25 years of absence.
The Gunners' squad includes many players who just shone at the 2026 World Cup, including the trio David Raya, Mikel Merino and Martin Zubimendi who just won the championship with the Spanish national team. In addition, they also have Martin Odegaard shining with the Norwegian national team or Saka making a hat-trick to help England defeat France in the third-place match.
Michael Carrick will start his first full season as Man United head coach with the opening match against newly promoted Hull City on the evening of August 22. Man United will have the service of Matheus Cunha, who scored three goals for Brazil at the World Cup.
Carrick is given the opportunity to lead Man United towards more ambitious goals, after he helped the Red Devils have an impressive breakthrough at the end of last season, to finish in the Top 3 and win a ticket to the UEFA Champions League.
Tottenham is also receiving a lot of attention next season. After successfully staying in the league, coach Roberto De Zerbi has stepped up the team's rebuilding by recruiting a series of quality players such as Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke and Andy Robertson. With these reinforcements, the London team is confident that they can challenge opponents in the championship race.
Man City enters the new season with a change on the coaching bench when Pep Guardiola has left, replaced by Enzo Maresca. However, Man City's ambition is still very large after they spent a large amount of money to bring in Elliot Anderson from Nottingham. They will start the new season with a match against AFC Bournemouth, who also has a new coach when Marco Rose replaces Andoni Iraola.
After winning the right to participate in the UEFA Champions League with a victory in the UEFA Europa League, Unai Emery's Aston Villa squad welcomed the arrival of Swiss World Cup star Johan Manzambi from Freiburg, as well as Joao Gomes from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Both can play in the opening match away against Brighton.
Iraola also received much expectation when replacing Arne Slot to lead Liverpool. The port city team has also recruited Spanish winger Victor Munoz and promising young French defender Jeremy Jacquet to increase the depth of Iraola's squad. Liverpool will start the new season with a challenging away game at Newcastle's stadium.
Fans will have the opportunity to witness Xabi Alonso for the first time as Chelsea coach, when this team visits Fulham's stadium in the latest match of round 1.
Alonso has won many titles when playing for Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Moving to coaching, he helped Bayer Leverkusen win the Bundesliga before taking over Real Madrid. This will be his first match as a coach in the Premier League.
Alonso will face his former teammate at Liverpool, Alvaro Arbeloa, who started his term at Fulham after succeeding Marco Silva. Arbeloa and Alonso also won the Champions League runner-up position together when they played for Liverpool.
