Manchester City's 2018-19 Premier League fixtures in full

London, June 14: Premier League champions Manchester City facing a testing start to their title defence at Arsenal as Pep Guardiola renews acquaintances with Unai Emery, but will likely be pleased with a favourable start to the campaign.

September sees them face only one side, Newcastle United, who finished in the top half last season, though October is somewhat more challenging with trips to Liverpool and Tottenham.

The first Manchester derby with United takes place on November 10, while the return fixture is at Old Trafford on March 16. City travel to Chelsea on December 8 in their most challenging fixture of that month before starting the 2019 against Liverpool.

City host Arsenal and Chelsea in successive fixtures to start February and host Tottenham on April 20, with Guardiola's men ending their campaign at Brighton and Hove Albion.
