The schedule for the new Premier League season is released. Manchester United and Arsenal staged a "classical overlord" battle in the first round. In addition, the later overlord Manchester City, the three giants who once swept the Premier League will meet continuously at the beginning. The three teams are fighting each other, who will fall behind?

According to the arrangement, the Premier League will start from the early morning of August 16th and end on May 24th next year. 33 of the match days are scheduled for weekends and 5 are scheduled for mid-weeks. There are no matches on December 24th, and there are at least 60 hours between any two matches to ensure that the players have enough rest time.

Unlike last year when Manchester United kicked off, the opening match of the new season was replaced by defending champion Liverpool, which will face Bournemouth at home. However, the most popular thing in the first round should be Manchester United's home match against Arsenal. The penalty kick of the FA Cup a few months ago is vivid in my mind.

Not only that, Manchester United's opponents at the beginning are quite strong. In addition to Arsenal, there are two teams participating in the Club World Cup, including Fulham and the newly promoted Burnley. OPTA, a famous data analysis agency, believes that Manchester United is the most difficult for the first five rounds of the 20 Premier League teams.

Arsenal followed closely, and met the newly promoted Leeds United in the first five rounds, defending champion Liverpool, dark horse Nottingham Forest last season, and old rival Manchester City. Although OPTA believes that Manchester City is not very difficult, in fact, in addition to Manchester United and Arsenal, Manchester City's opponents also include the Europa League champion Tottenham, the difficult Brighton, and the Wolves, who were "poached" by Manchester City's two heroes.

What's especially true is that Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City have to complete the encounter in the first five rounds. In theory, there will definitely be people who fall behind. I don't know which team this bad "unfortunate" will come to.

For Manchester City, after a stormy season, there was no championship except the community shield, and Guardiola faced considerable difficulties. Last season, the absence of Golden Globes Mr. Rodri was still very impacted. I don’t know if he can return to his former peak after his comeback.

Everyone is looking forward to that after De Bruyne leaves, Rodri and Reindez can form a double midfielder. Sherki, who is handsome, is the front midfielder. What will be the effect of this midfield combination that is completely different from last season?

Manchester City has the bond of the Club World Cup, so there must be very little rest time. Just like last season, I believe Guardiola will continue to complain again. England's new coach Tuchel believes that Arsenal is one of the beneficiaries and can have enough time to prepare for the new season.

Arsenal has no players yet. Dzekelish, Rodrigo and others are just rumors. If Arteta wants to maintain competitiveness, it will launch an attack on the Premier League champion for the fourth time. The joining of heavyweight players is more important. In addition, Odegao, who performed well in the national team, shows his leadership style is also a key link. You can't always criticize the captain.

Manchester United's problem is too complicated. The ruins left over from history cannot be solved in a short while. Amorin also truly felt that although the Premier League and the Portuguese Super League are only one word different, the difference between them is too big. Unfortunately, the schedule of the new season seems to be "deliberately" against each other. Only by completing the signing work early, running in early, and continuing to instill the concept of three defenders can we avoid an unfavorable situation at the beginning.

Just took a photo with several stars, Cunya, who is well-known for his popularity, has joined. Mbeumo is expected to come to Old Trafford as he wishes. The two of them scored a total of 35 league goals last season, and I believe that it will bring improvements to the offensive end to Manchester United, which has only scored 44 goals in the team.

The three major Premier League giants ushered in a difficult start at the same time, with three direct confrontations, which may be able to see the clues of the whole season. In 5 games, how many points do fans of Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City think their team can get?
