Premier League champions Manchester City will begin the defence of their top-flight title with a thrilling clash away at West Ham but have largely been handed a favourable set of fixtures.
The difficult start quickly tails off for Pep Guardiola's men, with newly-promoted Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest coming before the end of August.
September sees West Midlands trips to Aston Villa and Wolves either side of the visit of Tottenham, with Antonio Conte's men travelling to the Etihad Stadium after the first set of Champions League group-stage matches.
October represents arguably City's most challenging month, with the first Manchester derby of the season kicking it off before trips to title rivals Liverpool - after a Champions League gameweek - and Arsenal following.
