Premier League champions Manchester City have been handed a comfortable start to the defence of their crown, with two promoted sides in their first six games.
After opening the campaign with a tricky away fixture at West Ham, Pep Guardiola's men face both Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest before the end of August.
City are once again set to battle for the title despite a tough October in which they play the Manchester derby and face title rivals Liverpool.
They would also have hoped for slightly kinder fixtures to finish the campaign, facing Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium before a final-day trip to Brentford in their last two games.
