Manchester City begin life after Pep Guardiola at home to Bournemouth as they look to regain the Premier League title.
They will then face Crystal Palace away the following week before welcoming newcomers Coventry to the Etihad Stadium in a favourable start for the 10-time champions.
City have their first Manchester derby a week later on the weekend of Sep. 12 and take on champions Arsenal for the first time on Nov. 28.
It is a tricky festive period for Manchester City, taking on Brentford (away), Chelsea (home), Hull (home), Newcastle (away) and Everton (away) in December.

City will hope their run-in can lead to silverware this time around and they face Brentford (home), Liverpool (home), Ipswich (away), Aston Villa (home) and Sunderland (away) in May.
Guardiola called time on his decade-long trophy laden spell at the Etihad Stadium, in which he lifted the Premier League in six of the 10 years he managed the club.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager was not the only one to leave, with John Stones and Bernardo Silva also departing.
