Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd's Europa and Champions League fixtures out with Battle of Britain double header for Klopp | The Sun

LIVERPOOL will play their Champions League double header with Rangers in the space of just eight days in the middle of the six-game schedule.

But Manchester City star signing Erling Haaland must wait until the end of October for his return to Borussia Dortmund.

Uefa finally unveiled the confirmed fixture dates for all three European competitions this morning.

It means Chelsea will be the first prem side in Champions League action, with the early evening kick-off at 5.45pm UK time on Tuesday September 6 for their trip to Croatia’s Dinamo Zagreb.

Pep Guardiola’s City are also away on the opening day, facing the prospect of Sevilla.

The following evening, Liverpool and Spurs begin their campaigns, with Jurgen Klopp’s men travelling to meet Napoli in the renamed Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

Tottenham, though, are the only Prem side to start at home, with Marseille the visitors to N17.

Spurs will play just one “early” game, their trip to Sporting Lisbon on September 13, with City’s game in Copenhagen on October 11 a 5.45pm kick-off. All Liverpool’s matches will start at 8pm.

The fixtures mean City will have 24 hours extra to prepare for their home game with Spurs on September 10 and Liverpool have an extra day of recovery ahead of their trip to Chelsea the following weekend.

It also gives City a potential edge ahead of their clash with Liverpool on October 15, with Jurgen Klopp’s side in Glasgow the day after the Champions play in Denmark.
