The English Premier League organizers have just announced the new season’s match schedule. In particular, Man Utd played the opening match against Fulham. Right in the first round, fans watched Chelsea battle Man City.
According to the schedule for the opening round of the Premier League, Man Utd will play the opening match of the new season. They will welcome Fulham at Old Trafford at 20:00 on August 16 (ie 02:00 on August 17 Vietnam time).

This is not an easy challenge for the Red Devils. Last season, Fulham won 2-1 at Man Utd’s Old Trafford. After a bad season, finishing in 8th place on the Premier League rankings (the club’s worst performance in this tournament era), Man Utd still decided to retain coach Ten Hag.
Major shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe will take control of Man Utd’s football operations. He decided to change the entire superstructure at the club. Coach Ten Hag is retained but he will be under great pressure.
The highlight match in round 1 of the Premier League took place between Chelsea and Man City. Last season, Pochettino’s Blues held off Man City in both matches with scores of 4-4 and 1-1. This season, Chelsea had a change on the coaching bench when they fired coach Pochettino and appointed coach Enzo Maresca.

Liverpool began the post-Jurgen Klopp era when appointing coach Arne Slot. They will face Ipswich Town in the opening round. This is considered a relatively easy challenge for The Kop. However, in round 3, The Kop must be a guest at Man Utd’s field.
Similar to Liverpool, Tottenham will have a trip to the field of newly promoted team Leicester City in the opening round.
Man Utd and Arsenal will have a rather tense end of the season. In the final rounds, the Red Devils clashed with Chelsea and Aston Villa. Arsenal also faces two rivals Liverpool and Newcastle.
