Premier League Teams’ Opponents Announced

All five English sides have a clear picture of their upcoming challenges. Manchester United and Aston Villa return to the competition, while Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City all advanced from the league phase last year.

Arsenal will host Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Lille, and newcomers Sabah at the Emirates Stadium. Their toughest test on the road comes against Bayern Munich.

Liverpool travel to Inter Milan again, marking another reunion with Curtis Jones. They will also meet Atletico Madrid at Anfield. Trips to Club Brugge, Fenerbahce, and LASK add more hurdles.

Manchester City will face Barcelona away, while hosting the reigning champions PSG. Other tough matches include games against Napoli, RB Leipzig, and Porto.
