The new season in the Premier League kicks off - with a derby featuring the champion (see the draw)

The new Premier League season begins with a big derby where Arsenal will receive Manchester City champion Emirates. This will be Unai Emery`s first match in the Premier League and the first ever `gunmen` meeting after the Wenger era. The start for the Spaniard is particularly complicated, given that in the second round, Arsenal will host Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Manchester United, who ended last season in second place, is home to Leicester, while Tottenham has a hard time visiting Newcastle. The Liverpool Champions League finalist will also start the new home campaign. Merseyside will welcome in the first round of West Ham. Chelsea will host Huddersfield. Two new members of the Premier League - Wolverhampton and Fulham have begun the homecoming championship against Everton and Crystal Palace respectively. Cardiff City is visiting Bournemouth. The new season starts on August 11 - only 27 days after the end of today`s World Cup. The championship will finish on May 19, Sunday, 2019.


As always, a week before the start of the championship by questions for soccer predictions is the clash for the `Canyon Ship`. On August 5th at Wembley, the champion Manchester City and FA Cup Chelsea will come out against each other.
