Additionally, Liverpool’s journey back to the top tier begins with an away trip to Ipswich Town’s Portman Road, marking a historic return to Premier League football for the club after nearly two decades.
Manchester City will be aiming for an unprecedented fifth consecutive title in the 2024-25 season. With six league wins in the last seven seasons, Pep Guardiola’s side will be eager to continue their dominance in English football. On the other hand, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will be looking to end their title drought, with their last triumph coming in the famous “Invincibles” season of 2003-04.
