Chelsea will begin their 2024-25 season against reigning champions Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on Aug. 18 in what will be Enzo Maresca's first competitive game in charge, the Premier League fixtures revealed on Tuesday.
They will play City at the Etihad on Jan. 25 and visit Old Trafford to play Manchester United on Nov. 2. United come to west London for the return fixture on May 18, the penultimate week of the season.
Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge on Nov. 11 and host Chelsea at the Emirates on March 15. The other trip to north London comes on Dec. 7 at Tottenham Hotspur.
Maresca, who replaced Mauricio Pochettino as manager earlier in May, will be looking to help Chelsea bounce back from a disappointing seventh-placed finish in the previous campaign.
The Italian coach joins from Leicester, who he helped to promotion to the Premier League in his first season in charge before moving to Chelsea. He will return to the King Power on Nov. 23.
