Premier League fixtures LIVE: Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal and more’s 2022-23 matches confirmed

Liverpool have been handed big games after Champions League rounds, which could be seen both ways.

They play better opposition and their title rivals, yet those teams, too, will be fatigued from the midweek action.

The Reds, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham will be involved in the top competition on: 6/7 September, 13/14 September, 4/5 October, 11/12 October, 25/26 October and 1/2 November.

While Arsenal and Manchester United battle it out in the Europa League on: 8 September, 15 September, 6 October, 13 October, 27 October and 3 November.

Liverpool’s opponents after those rounds include four of the ‘Big Six’ teams:

• Wolves home (10 September)
• Chelsea away (17 September)
• Arsenal away (8 October)
• Manchester City home (15 October)
• Leeds home (29 October)
• Tottenham away (5 November)

Here are some of the best derbys to look out for.

The Premier League fixtures announcement has thrown up some intriguing encounters on the opening weekend.

Football fans up and down the country will be poring over the Premier League fixture schedule after it was announced on Thursday morning.

While clubs will all play each other twice over the course of the season, the ordering of the matches can have a significant impact on their fortunes.

An easy or difficult run at a key stage can create or disrupt momentum, particularly given the additional fixture congestion created by the 2022 World Cup in November and December.

To help unravel this season’s fixtures, the PA news agency has analysed the entire 2022-23 Premier League schedule using an aggregation of leading bookmakers’ odds and identified the most notable runs.

City to make fast start

Manchester City will start the new season as favourites to retain their title for a third successive year, especially given their favourable-looking run at the start of the campaign.

Pep Guardiola’s side play two of the promoted sides at home in August, and do not face any of the traditional ‘big six’ until mid-September when they host Tottenham.

Arsenal made a bad start to the season in 2021-22, losing their opening three games by an aggregate of nine goals to nil, but will expect to fare much better this year - a September trip to Old Trafford is the only one of their first eight fixtures against a team expected to finish in the top six.
