The Premier League's big six are set to go to war again in the 2022-23 season as they prepare to battle for Champions League spots and the biggest prize of them all - the league title.
Manchester City secured back-to-back titles in the last campaign with Liverpool breathing down their necks, and the pair are expected to duel for the crown once again after both sides made big name signings - with Erling Haaland going to the Etihad and Darwin Nunez joining Anfield.
Meanwhile, Chelsea's title bid fell apart before it truly began as the Blues finished third during a turbulent, crisis-hit season - as Tottenham pipped Arsenal to that coveted fourth spot.
It won't be long at all before the big six are pitted against each other, and fans can look forward to a huge London derby on just the second Premier League weekend, with Chelsea hosting rivals Tottenham on August 13 that will see Antonio Conte returning to his former side looking to outline his title ambitions.
But Tuchel will be hungry to show his Chelsea side are ready to bounce back - and he will be hoping to be backed in the market by new owner Todd Boehly after finally buying the club from Roman Abramovich to set up a new era.

Erik ten Hag's third Man United game is a huge game against Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp (R)
Outside the top four last season, Arsenal were forced to settle for Europa League football, with Man United only qualifying for the Conference League. Both clubs play each other in September at Old Trafford - but before that, new United boss Erik ten Hag faces a huge early test of his credentials as he faces Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.
Ten Hag's men have been linked with a host of big names - such as Frenkie de Jong - and he'll be optimistic his struggling outfit are bolstered with depth by the time the Reds descend on Old Trafford on August 20. He'll be mindful that in last year's fixture, United were thumped 5-0 at home to their rivals.
September sees Spurs make another tricky trip to the Etihad to play Man City, with Chelsea hosting Liverpool the following weekend.
