Premier League clubs’ pre-season fixtures and results: Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea’s schedules revealed
THE new Premier League season is right around the corner as clubs start to put their plans in order ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
Manchester City will be looking to win the top flight for a record-extending fifth time in a row.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal came close to claiming their first Premier League title since the 2003/04 Invincible season but had to settle for second place despite running Pep Guardiola‘s side to the very end.
Ipswich Town, Southampton and Leicester City are the new boys for the coming season as they replace Burnley, Luton Town and Sheffield United.
But what are their plans before the start of the 2024/25 Premier League season?
