Who’s Got the Toughest Start to the 2024/25 Premier League Season?
As the Euro fever dies down, the attention shifts to the upcoming Premier League season, and the challenges that await our favourite teams. Social media is abuzz with fans claiming their team has been dealt the toughest hand, and league predictions are already making the rounds. But who among the Big Six actually has the toughest start to life in 2024/25?
The Reds’ Easy Ride
New Liverpool boss Arne Slot must be rubbing his hands together after looking at his first few games in charge of the Anfield side. The Reds may have the easiest opening run of any team in the league - facing newly promoted Ipswich Town at Portman Road to kick off their campaign before hosting Brentford, who may even lose striker Ivan Toney in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool’s opening fixtures
The trickiest of their first five games will come against Manchester United at Old Trafford, having failed to beat the Red Devils in their last season under Jurgen Klopp. But Liverpool and Slot should be able to rack up a fair few points at the start of next season - potentially a perfect start to life in England for the new boss.
The Rest of the Big Six
But what about the other teams in the Big Six? Do they have it easier or tougher than Liverpool? We’ll be taking a closer look at their opening fixtures in the coming days to see who’s got the toughest start to the 2024/25 Premier League season.
