Manchester City face a bruising start to the campaign as they look to reclaim their Premier League title next season.
Pep Guardiola's side will travel to Wolves for their opening game of the season before welcoming Thomas Frank's Tottenham to the Etihad in their first home game of the campaign.
After that comes a tricky trip to Brighton, with a Manchester derby and an away clash with Arsenal rounding off their opening five games.
City don't face newly-crowned champions Liverpool until November. Despite a difficult start to the season, their run-in does look favourable, with Burnley, Everton, Brentford, Bournemouth and Aston Villa representing their final five games of the season.
