Manchester City made it four Premier League titles in the past five seasons with their dramatic final-day 3-2 comeback victory over Aston Villa in May.
Ilkay Gundogan was the two-goal hero as Pep Guardiola's side thrillingly pipped Liverpool at the final hurdle, as they did in 2018/19.
Liverpool are again expected to present the main challenge to Guardiola's side, with the arrivals of Erling Haaland in Manchester and Darwin Nunez on Merseyside giving the rivalry a fresh dynamic.
Ahead of Guardiola's seventh season at the helm, here's what we know about City's league schedule in full.

Man City in the Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup
City will begin their 12th consecutive campaign in the UEFA Champions League— the longest unbroken stint in Europe's top competition for any Premier League team. However, a dramatic semifinal defeat to eventual winners Real Madrid in 2021/22 meant their wait continued for a first continental title since the 1969/70 European Cup Winners' Cup.
Champions League participation means City will enter the Carabao Cup in the third round, seeking to reclaim a trophy they won in four consecutive seasons before West Ham beat them on penalties in the Round of 16 last term.
Guardiola has only a solitary FA Cup to his name, which came as part of the 2018/19 domestic treble. Like all of their Premier League counterparts, City will begin their bid for glory in that competition in the Third Round.

Man City Premier League betting odds
Having won four of the past five titles, City's expectations will reasonably be to retain their crown and match the five out of six achieved by Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United between 1995/96 and 2000/01.
Given their lengthy quest for Champions League glory, Guardiola finally getting his hands on a third European title as a coach would truly elevate the season.

Man City best & worst Premier League finish
Sergio Aguero's unforgettable last-gasp strike to snatch Premier League glory in 2011/12 began a stretch where City have won six of the past 11 titles on offer, with one apiece masterminded by Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini respectively prior to the Guardiola era.
The best of these, statistically at least, came in 2017/18, when Gabriel Jesus's late winner at Southampton on the final day of the campaign ensured City became the first team to record 100 points in a single Premier League season. The gap of 19 points between themselves and Manchester United in second was also a competition record.
Of course, things were not always this way. City have twice been relegated in the Premier League era, first in 1995/96 when they went down on goal difference on the final day. The Blues' fate was already sealed by that point in 2000/01. Joe Royle's team matched the 18th-placed finish of five years earlier but recorded a total of 34 points— City's lowest in a Premier League season.
