THE Premier League's top dogs are already thinking about the 2023/24 season – and that means pre-season friendly tours.
The 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.
Meanwhile, Liverpool and City are heading to the Far East.

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.
