The Premier League’s ‘Big Six’ are all in action this weekend as preparations continue for the start of the new season.
The highlight of the pre-season friendlies is the clash between Arsenal and Manchester United in Los Angeles in the early hours of Sunday morning with Erik ten Hag no doubt looking to show fans that his team can challenge the elite after last season’s disappointing eighth-placed finish.
Liverpool take on Real Betis in Pittsburgh overnight tonight while Chelsea meet Celtic tomorrow evening followed by a heavyweight clash between Manchester City and Milan.
Tottenham are not in the US and Ange Postecoglou’s men meet Vissel Kobe in Tokyo tomorrow morning.
Only Brentford, Bournemouth and Fulham are not playing among the Premier League clubs.
The full list is as follows:
