Man City's season will get off to a delayed start due to their involvement in the latter stages of the Champions League, with their opener against Aston Villa being postponed to leave a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers - against whom they lost twice last season - as their first game.

Leicester City visit the Etihad Stadium in Man City's first home game of the campaign, and they will welcome champions Liverpool to their own patch in November too.

Their trip to Anfield is part of a difficult February which also sees them face North London duo Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal in succession, while the Manchester derbies are scheduled for December and March.

City end the campaign at home to Everton, where they will hope to dethrone Merseyside's other top-flight club in the title race if they have not already.
