Premier League 2025: The 2025-26 Premier League edition is all set to begin from August 15, where reigning champions Liverpool will lock horns with AFC Bournemouth in Anfield. The tournament opener would be quite emotional as the team would be playing a tribute to Diego Jota, who had died in a car accident earlier this year. The club had also retired his No.20 jersey, and 'Forever 20' would be written on the kits of all the players this season.
The upcoming season would be the 34th edition of this tournament and the 127th season of one of the top-most English football leagues. Leeds United, who were recently promoted along with Burnley and Sunderland, would be making a comeback to this tournament, who already have a hectic schedule till May next year.
One of the matches to watch out for during the first weekend would be held on Sunday between Manchester and Arsenal, and that will lay the foundation of yet another high-octane tournament.
Liverpool does boast of a formidable side with players including Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitikie, and Jereme Frimpong, and they will aim to defend their title. At the same time, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, who had a forgetful outing last season, received a huge boost with Rodri making a comeback to the side after being declared fully fit, and will try to give Liverpool a hard time.
Meanwhile, Arsenal also had quite an eventful summer. They, too, received a huge boost with Viktor Gyokeres returning to the side. Can they break the jinx this year and finally lift the elusive trophy?
As far as the promoted teams are concerned, they would be engaging in a battle of fierce survival. Will Manchester United bounce back and enter the top six?
Since the Premier League is all set to begin on Friday, a lot of these questions will be answered.
