The Premier League is set to kick off in style on Friday, August 11th, with Burnley welcoming champions Manchester City to Turf Moor. This game will see Burnley manager Vincent Kompany face off against his former team, who he won four Premier League titles with during his time as captain. The Belgian enjoyed great success under Pep Guardiola and will be looking to prove himself against his mentor in what promises to be an exciting opening game of the season.
Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino’s first match as Chelsea boss sees Liverpool visit Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon. The Argentine has a big task ahead of him in turning Chelsea around after they finished 12th last season. However, Pochettino has won five of his seven opening Premier League games, and Chelsea are something of specialists when it comes to the first match. In total, they have a 64.5 per cent win rate, losing just five of their 31 games played.
The Premier League’s opening weekend also sees newly-promoted Luton Town travel to Brighton for their first top-flight game since 1992. Sheffield United, the other promoted team, host Crystal Palace after two years away from the Premier League. Arsenal begin their title challenge against Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon, while new Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou will be preparing for a trip to Brentford in his first match at the helm.
