The new season kicks off this Friday night for the first
time in its history.
The Gunners will welcome Leicester City to the Emirates
in the first televised game of the season as the 2017/18
season gets underway on Friday 11th August.
However, champions Chelsea have been snubbed for the
first weekend of the season as Liverpool take on Watford
in the Saturday lunchtime clash – also on Sky Sports –
while BT Sport will show newly-promoted Brighton
and Hove Albion at home to Manchester City.
The weekend’s televised games conclude on Sunday
with the double helping of Tottenham travelling to
Newcastle to welcome them back to top-flight football
and Manchester United hosting West Ham.
The defending champions will have to wait until the
second weekend of the season to make their television
debut of the new season when they face Tottenham.
United’s first five games of the new season will all be
televised as Jose Mourinho gets his second season underway – traditionally the year when he wins the league –
as fans will get a plenty of opportunities to see
possible new signing Romelu Lukaku in red.
