THE Premier League's top dogs are gearing up for the 2023/24 campaign - but they have their pre-season tours to navigate through first.
England's top-flight's clubs can expect a more peaceful run-up to next season, with hopefully no disruption from a global pandemic and certainly no mid-season World Cup to worry about.
Champions Manchester City, as well as Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle are all getting plenty of air miles this summer.
United, the Gunners, the Magpies and Blues are all taking in pre-season tours of the United States.
Six clubs are also involved in the official Premier League Summer Series: Aston Villa, Brentford, Brighton, Chelsea, Fulham and Newcastle.

How can I watch these Premier League pre-season fixtures?
Unlike the Premier League season proper, the games tend to have more ad-hoc broadcasts and official live streams.
Expect clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal to use their own in-house channel to broadcast and stream the games exclusively.
But with the Premier League Summer Series there is likely to be a more conventional set of broadcasters.
Stay tuned here for live stream and TV announcements as they come.
