The pick of the Premier League action on opening weekend comes on Sunday evening as Chelsea welcome reigning Champions Manchester City to Stamford Bridge to kickstart the Enzo Maresca era.
The West London outfit have continued their scattergun approach to transfers this summer with a mixture of young talent and first-team challengers set to shake up an inconsistent squad under the new manager, while City academy product Cole Palmer will be hoping to start the campaign as he finished the last one - in burning hot form.
Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola's side head into the new season almost identical to last campaign, with Savio's arrival from Troyes the only notable incoming, while Julian Alvarez's departure remains the most expensive deal of the window so far across Europe.
Who is the referee for Chelsea vs Manchester City?
Experienced official Anthony Taylor will be in charge of proceedings at Stamford Bridge. Taylor has a somewhat tainted relationship with the Chelsea faithful after a number of questionable decisions against the Blues over the past few years. Taylor has overseen 370 top-flight games in his career, averaging a penalty every three games.
He will be assisted by Gary Beswick and Adam Nunn
Who is on VAR duties and the fourth official for Chelsea vs Manchester City?
Michael Salisbury will be in charge of VAR on Sunday alongside assistant Dan Cook.
Darren England has been named fourth official ahead of what fans hope will be a high-scoring affair between two of England's biggest teams.
