Pre-season fixtures: Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd and more Premier League scheduled games

As the season comes to a close, clubs and their supporters begin looking ahead to next season.

A crucial part of the build-up to next season is pre-season, where teams will test themselves across the globe, as managers look to further identify where they need to strengthen their squad.

For sides in the Premier League top six, it will be a crucial time for each manager to analyse the strengths and weaknesses of their teams.

This season has seen contrasting fortunes for the teams near the top of the table, with Manchester City and Liverpool way ahead of the rest.

The remaining four will need to use pre-season to improve drastically, although Chelsea have a transfer ban and seem set to lose their star man in Eden Hazard.

Each team can use their pre-season schedules to integrate new players into their side so that come the start of next season, they can start in full force.

But who do each of the top six play in preparation for the new season?

Here is all you need to know so far about pre-season…
