Aftrer the 15 March, they will only face three teams that finished in the top half of last season's table - Crystal Palace, Manchester United and Aston Villa.

West Ham have the next easiest run-in, again only facing three top-half teams in their final 10 games - Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United.

At the other end of the spectrum, Fulham have the toughest run-in, with six of their final 10 games coming against sides who qualified for Europe last season.

The 2024-25 Premier League fixtures are being released on Tuesday at 09:00 BST - and you will see them on the BBC Sport website and app as soon as they are announced.

What should you look out for?

By chief football news reporter Simon Stone

Matches around European games

This will be even more keenly assessed than usual given the four clubs in the Champions League and two in the Europa League will have eight first-phase games rather than six. Long trips before or after European games do not go down well with managers.

Matches around internationals

There are international breaks in September, October, November and March. In Europe, the first three of those are for Nations League fixtures. World Cup qualifiers in Europe start in March 2025, though in South America and Asia they are being played in all four windows.

England managers tend not to be keen on blockbuster league matches immediately before a break and club bosses are equally unhappy at having to play key matches after them when so many players get back on Thursday or Friday.

Festive fixtures

To allow for a mid-August start, there will not be a winter break this season. The Premier League has assured clubs they will not be asked to play twice in less than 60 hours at any point over Christmas and New Year. That rules out any club playing on 26 December also having a game on 28 December. There will be no Christmas Eve fixture in the 2024-25 season.

As the FA Cup third round has been moved from its traditional home on the first weekend of January to the second, it does seem there will be four rounds of fixtures over the festive period - starting on 21 December and ending on 5 January.

New managers

Four Premier League clubs already have new managers - Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton), Enzo Maresca (Chelsea), Arne Slot (Liverpool) and Julen Lopetegui (West Ham) - with a fifth to come at Leicester. So that's a new era beginning at 25% of clubs before a ball has been kicked. Russell Martin will take charge of a top-flight game for the first time after Southampton's promotion.

Fulham have rejected a second bid from Bayern Munich for Joao Palhinha.

The Cottagers have knocked back two offers from Bayern this week as the German giants rekindle their long-standing interest in the midfielder.

Personal terms are not expected to be a problem if a deal can be struck between the clubs.

Bayern have returned for the Portugal international, on duty for his country at Euro 2024, after their initial move for him collapsed last summer, despite Palhinha having a medical.

He was given permission to fly to Germany on the understanding a replacement would have to be signed before the transfer would be approved.

But Fulham were unable to bring in anyone before the transfer deadline and the player had to return to Craven Cottage.

Bayern have come back for the 28-year-old with new boss Vincent Kompany looking to return them to the top of the Bundesliga.

They finished third last season, behind unbeaten champions Bayer Leverkusen and runners-up Stuttgart - a failure to win the first time since 2012.

If you could only buy one, sell one, and loan out one player at Fulham, who would you pick?

That was the question we asked you to answer, with the transfer window set to open on Friday.

Here are some of your thoughts:

Andy: Buy: Evan Ferguson - or another other centre-forward with a future. Sell: Kenny Tete - I would prefer not to but he wants to play and, at the moment, he is second choice. Loan: Luc de Fougerolles - I wouldn't want to loan out anyone from the first team as we are already thin, but he could do with first-team experience.

Kevin: Buy: Joshua Kimmich - unlikely, I know! Sell: Joao Palhinha - I know he wants to move to Bayern Munich and he does deserve to play at the top; I would love Kimmich to replace him as part of the deal. Loan: Luke Harris - to a higher-level Championship club.

Kalvin: Buy: Emile Smith Rowe - we have been rumoured to be interested in him and this would be a fantastic signing; he could be the man that gets us into Europe! Sell: Carlos Vinicius - a no-brainer. Loan: Adrion Pajaziti - it would be good for him to get some Championship experience after shining in the PL2 last season.

Tom: Buy: Andre from Fluminense - this would be as a Palhinha replacement. Sell: Joao Palhinha - Bayern Munich want him and he deserves the chance to win trophies and play Champions League football. Loan: Luc de Fougerolles - a season of football in a competitive league could help him make the step up to the first-team squad.

So what are the key dates that you need to know?

The final round of fixtures will be played on Sunday, 25 May 2025, with all games to kick off at the same time.

When are the fixtures released?

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer.

The 26-year-old will join the Blues on a four-year-deal when he leaves Fulham at the end of his contract this month.

The former Manchester City academy product spent four seasons with the Cottagers, making 132 appearances in all competitions and scoring five goals.

Chelsea have been looking to bolster their centre-back options following the departure of 39-year-old Thiago Silva at the end of the season.

The west London side are also expected to sell academy graduate defender Trevoh Chalobah this summer as they look to comply with profit and sustainability rules.

Adarabioyo told the club website: "Chelsea is a huge club and this is a full-circle moment for me. I was born three miles away from Stamford Bridge and made my professional debut there.

"I'm very excited and looking forward to helping push the club in the direction we want to go."

Co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart added: "We are delighted to bring Tosin to Chelsea. Throughout his career, he has showcased his maturity and defensive qualities and has gained a wealth of experience in the Premier League in recent seasons.

"He is ready to make the step up to Chelsea and work alongside the talented players in our squad. We look forward to Tosin joining up with us for pre-season."

We asked for you for your thoughts on what Fulham's summer priority is.

Here is a selection of your responses:

Andy: One of the transfer priorities this year should be a top centre-forward. Every year we make the mistake of thinking what we have is enough, and hope we're lucky enough not have any injuries. Everyone else has as a squad with four proper strikers in it. We constantly try to scrap through with two.

Will: We need a Tosin replacement, he was a key player, and a new centre-back is needed. We are also now linked with Emile Smith Rowe and that would be a great transfer, perhaps to take over from Willian. Other than that, just get the manager a new contract and we need to back him all the way in the transfer window.

Simon: It's time to consolidate our position within the Premier League. Accordingly we need to strengthen our side by firstly ensuring we keep our manager and key players. Secondly, we need to replace those players leaving and attract some quality additions. Only then will we able to address our consistency, in particular our away form.

Kevin: We always seem to scrabbling about for new players at the end of the window. Would be good, for a change, to make an early statement signing and get a settled squad before game one.

Tottenham have announced they will release four senior players - Ryan Sessegnon, Eric Dier, Japhet Tanganga and Ivan Perisic – when their contracts expire at the end of the month.

Sessegnon has interest from Fulham over a free transfer and is targeting a move within the Premier League, as he looks to rebuild his career after a series of hamstring problems.

Bayern Munich have already decided to make Eric Dier’s loan move permanent after a successful six-month spell.

Milwall have made an offer to sign loanee Japhet Tanganga permanently, but the move has stalled amid rival interest.

Ivan Perisic, meanwhile, is tipped to return to his boyhood club Hajduk Split as he enters the twilight of his glorious career.

The club has also said it remains in contract talks with forwards Willian and Bobby Decordova-Reid.
