The 2018-19 Premier League season kicks off on Saturday, August 11 at 5am (AEST) when Manchester United, potentially without several World Cup stars, take on Leicester City.
The first round of the season also sees Liverpool go up against a vastly-improved West Ham United, before concluding with arguably the match of the round in Arsenal vs Manchester City.
The 2018-19 campaign will come to a close on Monday, May 13 next year, with Watford and West Ham scheduled to play out the final game of the year.

The Newcastle-Tottenham match could be interesting, given that the Newcastle players are refusing to fulfil media obligations until their bonuses get sorted out.
