Manchester City have a chance to establish themselves.
After a thrilling final day win over Villa, Man City won the title by a single point, but there was an 18-point gap between them and the runners-up. The opening weeks give City a chance to show off their skills again.
The first game of the season will be a test for City, who were only able to draw 2-2 at London Stadium.
The feeling of playing catch-up needs to be avoided by the Reds.
Although they almost wore them down, the gap was too great for them to overcome. In their first five matches, the side face two newly promoted teams, but also have to travel to two historic rivals and host Manchester City in October.
In order to avoid watching them race into an early lead,Liverpool will have to be careful. The Reds need to stay in the race to get an easier run-in. After facing Spurs on April 29, the last four games for the Reds are at home, away, and in the middle of the country.
Things start off again.

Last season began with Brentford celebrating their return to English football's top tier after a 74-year absence with a 2-0 win over Arsenal on a rowdy Friday night. It was a year ago that Patrick Vieira masterminded a victory for Crystal Palace that dealt a huge blow to their top-four hopes. The opening game will be an early test of Mikel Arteta's ability to take the team forward having missed out on the chance to play in the European Championship.
There are two periods in the schedule that stand out, the first being in October when they host Manchester City and the second being in April when they host West Ham, City, and the rest of the league.
The start was difficult.
Man United's form was so erratic last season that it is not easy to discern a clearly winnable game, but their opening two matches could have been more difficult.
Ten Hag will face a huge test of his credentials and ambition when he takes charge of the Reds. The game will be an early look at the club's rebuild after United were thrashed by five goals. The transfer window will remain open for another 11 days.
Before a game at Crystal Palace and a home game with Leeds, United will have to travel to places where they lost recently, includingSouthampton andLeicester. It will give Ten Hag and United pause because of that.
It was a tough opening for the Spurs.
The grand ambition of Antonio Conte to turn Spurs into title challengers is going to be difficult to achieve in the first seven games of the new season.
Last season, Spurs won at City, but in January they were defeated by the Blues. After their third defeat in 10 days against the Blues, Conte described a "very large gap" between them and Spurs. The club have been active in the market already in an attempt to close it and should that continue, the attention will be on the team that can compete with the best.
The first north London derby of the season will take place in October, while back-to-back games against Manchester United at home and away in April will test their resilience.
Before the World Cup, England gets help.
The Football Association made a formal request to the Premier League that there be no matches between the traditional "Big Six" on the weekend leading up to the World Cup.
It has been granted. It looks like the most intriguing fixture of that matchweek will be the one between the two teams in the evening. There are four games on the schedule, two of which are away games, one of which is at Wolves, and two of which are at home.
The league has been listening.
There is a chance that Ten Hag will be able to stamp his authority before the game.
There is a game on August 13th.
After 19 years as owner, Roman Abramovich has left a mark on the club. Todd Boehly, part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, will want to start with a bang and beat one of their bitterest rivals in order to do so. Tuchel and Conte both want to change the top two. In the second round of matches, the game will give a clue as to which team is in a better position to win.
The Manchester United vs.Liverpool game will take place on August 20.
The intensity of English football's fiercest rivalry will be taught by Ten Hag. Given the scale of the rebuilding job at hand, the Dutch coach would have preferred a game of this magnitude later in the season, but instead he will have an early question to answer: can United beat a superior side playing the sort of attacking football he wants to produce or will they adopt a One of the fascinating aspects of being 37 years old is that of Portugal's talismanic leader, and he will be one of the key players in the game.
The game is between Manchester City and Spurs.
There will be a lot of attention on Erling Haaland. This is the first test of the 21-year-old center-forward, who is expected to take English football by storm. Haaland is one of the best young players in the world, but he is not a master tactician. Spurs will take heart from the fact that they won this fixture last season.
The Manchester City vs.Liverpool game will be played on October 15th.
The games between the two teams go a long way in determining the winner of the league. They played each other three times last season and shared 13 goals. The titanic tussles are appointment viewing and will be one of the first major tests of their title credentials for 2022-23.
There is a football game on December 26th between Villa andLiverpool.
The World Cup creates a mid-season challenge for clubs trying to maintain consistency. The final of the World Cup will take place on December 18th, and the league will resume the following day.
Even though Manchester City won at Elland Road in April, they will face a potentially tricky trip to Yorkshire. In last season's run-in, Steven Gerrard's Villa gave the Reds a scare, taking the lead before they fought back to win. Villa have already made a number of signings in the market, including signing Diego Carlos from Sevilla, a free transfer from Marseille, and a goalkeeper from Roma.
Man City is playing a game against Chelsea.
The last weekend of the season pits third against second from last season and a repeat of the cup final from the year before. If the Blues are still in it by the end of the season, they will be able to sustain a title challenge to City and Reds next year. In May 2021 they won at City but that is the only victory they have had in the past.
