Premier League champions Manchester City will travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the standout fixture of the opening weekend in the 2024-25 season.
Pep Guardiola's men won an unprecedented fourth consecutive top-flight title in the 2023-24 campaign and will begin their quest to get their hands on a record-extending fifth successive crown against a Chelsea outfit now managed by former Citizens coach Enzo Maresca.
Marasca, who worked as an academy coach at Man City before assisting Guardiola with the first team, was appointed as Mauricio Pochettino's successor last month after guiding Leicester City to the Championship title last season in his first role as a senior manager.
Man City's blockbuster clash with Chelsea, who finished sixth last season, will take place on Sunday, August 18, one of two fixtures taking place on the opening Sunday along with a London derby between Brentford and Crystal Palace at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Manchester United to kick-start 2024-25 Premier League season
The 2024-25 Premier League campaign will begin on Friday, August 16, with Erik ten Hag's Manchester United welcoming Marco Silva's Fulham to Old Trafford for the curtain-raiser.
Man United suffered their lowest finish of the Premier League era last season, ending up in eighth place, but they managed to qualify for the Europa League after beating rivals Man City in the FA Cup final.
Ten Hag's future was the subject of intense speculation earlier this month, but the Red Devils are now understood to have decided to stick with the 54-year-old and could extend his contract before the start of the new season.
Elsewhere, Ipswich Town will begin their first season as a top-flight club for 22 years at home against Liverpool on Saturday, August 17, with this fixture representing Arne Slot's first game in charge of the Reds.
Slot was appointed Liverpool head coach last month following the departure of legendary manager Jurgen Klopp, who spent nine years at Anfield and steered his side to a third-placed finish in the Premier League last season.
Ipswich, meanwhile, were competing in League One just two season ago, but Kieran McKenna has successfully guided the club to back-to-back promotions, including a second-placed finish in the Championship last season.
