Manchester City will be aiming for a fifth straight Premier League title when Pep Guardiola's men begin their new campaign with an away game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Defending champions Manchester City begin their quest for an unprecedented fifth consecutive Premier League title on Sunday with a tricky opening fixture away at Chelsea.
Pep Guardiola claimed his 18th trophy as Man City boss last weekend, with his side beating local rivals Man United on penalties to lift the Community Shield and underline that his team remains hungry for more silverware.
It's a new era for the hosts, with Enzo Maresca -- Guardiola's former assistant at Man City -- taking charge of a Premier League game for the first time following his appointment as successor to Mauricio Pochettino. Chairman Todd Boehly has kept the Blues chequebook open, with Portuguese attacker Pedro Neto and midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall among the new faces to arrive at Stamford Bridge during the summer.
Chelsea host Manchester City on Sunday, Aug. 18 at Stamford Bridge, with kickoff set for 4:30 p.m. BST local time, making it a 11:30 a.m. ET or 8:30 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada and a 1:30 a.m. AEST kickoff on Monday morning in Australia.
Sunday's match will be broadcast on both NBC and Peacock, the latter of which is the best option for football fans looking to watch the EPL this season, with the large majority of fixtures set be shown exclusively on streaming service. You'll need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account to catch games live.
