06.07.2012 A Guide To Liverpool, Man U's, Man City, Arsenal, Spurs & Chelsea Pre-Season Friendlies: This is a picture video detailing all the games the big guns in the Premier League will play in the pre-season. MANCHESTER CITY: Could the showdown with Arsenal in Beijing feature yet another Arsenal player wearing the blue of City? RVP's next destination is yet to be revealed, but in any case it will be a decent warm-up for the champions' Premier League clash with Southampton on the opening day of the new season. MANCHESTER UNITED: It's Scandinavia, Africa and Asia for United, with the August clash against Barcelona a highlight. It should get Fergie's boys match fit for their match at Goodison Park 10 days later. ARSENAL: Players are back in training ahead of the new season, so we thought we'd bring you a guide to where some of the Premier League clubs are playing, beginning with Arsenal. Without or without Robin van Persie, the Gunners travel to Asia and Africa to get some much needed match practice ahead of their opener against Sunderland at the Emirates on 18 August. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR: Andre Villas-Boas takes his Spurs to America before visiting Valencia's Mestalla stadium ahead of the trip to Newcastle on 18 August. There's also the meeting with Stevenage who almost embarrassed them in last season's FA Cup CHELSEA: Touring the US, Chelsea will come up against former manager Carlo Ancelotti, who led the Blues to the double in 2010, when they face PSG on 22 July in New York. With a match against Milan scheduled before the friendlies finish, Roberto Di Matteo's side should be ready for the trip to Wigan. LIVERPOOL: Gylfi Sigurdsson has the chance to show Liverpool what they missed out on when the Reds play Spurs in Baltimore at the end of July. Brendan Rodgers, meanwhile, may feel he has a point to prove to Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy for not offering him the manager's job sooner.
