Big 6 in the spotlight — which games could decide the title?
Sam Dean
Manchester City
A series of games against Arsenal, Brighton and then Manchester United in October seems difficult. A month later, City will play Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in consecutive matches. Their big games are coming in bursts. The backstory seems simple enough: their last four games were against Nottingham Forest, Wolves, Fulham and West Ham.
Arsenal
On paper, a relatively easy start to the season with games against Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace and Fulham. However, Mikel Arteta's team is in for a tough autumn as they face Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle United within one month. Two of their last four games have been against the so-called «big six» as Arsenal face Spurs at the end of April before traveling to Manchester United in mid-May.

Liverpool
The opening day trip to face Chelsea Mauricio Pochettino represents a difficult start campaign and then they go to Newcastle United for their third match. Back-to-back matches against United and Arsenal can be difficult in a busy December period.
Tottenham Hotspur
Ange Postecoglou's first Premier League match will be away to Brentford, which is one of the toughest first day matches Spurs could get. In the meantime, his first home game will be against Manchester United. Spring can be decisive: from mid-April to early May, the Spurs have a series of matches against Newcastle (A), City (H), Arsenal (H) and Liverpool (A).
ChelseaMauricio Pochettino's Chelsea career kicks off with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on the opening weekend. From here, his first few weeks look relatively easy.
