Manchester City, the four-time defending champions, are set to embark on another Premier League campaign for the 2024/25 season. Under Pep Guardiola’s leadership, the team had an impressive run last season, clinching their fourth consecutive Premier League title—a historic achievement in football.
City will kick off their title defense in August with an exciting match against Chelsea, who finished sixth last season.
Following their opener, Manchester City will face Ipswich Town, a newly promoted team, and then West Ham United wrapping up their August fixtures.
In their fourth match, City will go up against Brentford, a team they defeated twice in the previous season.
The champions will close out their first five-match schedule with a highly anticipated game against Arsenal, seen as the strongest contenders for the Premier League title, towards the end of September.
Additionally, the Premier League has granted Manchester City permission to use the FIFA Club World Cup Champions badge for the 2024/25 season.
