Premier League pre-season friendly results: Liverpool beat Arsenal AND Man Utd
Premier League clubs have concluded their preparations for the 2024/25 season this summer, with Liverpool scoring some eye-catching friendly wins in the US and Arsenal looking mighty impressive once back on home soil.
Spurs played Bayern Munich twice for some reason, and lost both games, while Chelsea have been chaotically on-brand and the curtain has been suitably raised by Manchester City ending a weirdly lengthy five-year wait for Community Shield glory.
The real thing kicks off on Friday night – and here are the full Premier League fixtures.
