Premier League 2018-19 fixtures: Arsenal host Manchester City on opening day

New Arsenal boss Unai Emery will kick off his Premier League career with a nice gentle opener against champions Manchester City on a mouthwatering opening weekend of the 2018/19 season.

Wolves mark their return to the top flight with a home game against Everton, while the other teams returning to the Premier League, Cardiff and Fulham, begin their campaigns against Bournemouth and Crystal Palace respectively.

Tottenham travel to Newcastle – a repeat of last season’s opening fixture – while Liverpool against West Ham is another tasty-looking clash.

Huddersfield’s second season in the Premier League begins with a home game against Chelsea.

The fixtures are all currently slated for 3pm on Saturday August 11, until the TV companies have got their paws on them.
