The four Premier League clubs competing in the 2020-21 Champions League have learned who their league opponents will be after each of round of group games.

Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea will take part in a compacted group stage this autumn, with six games played in the space of eight weeks.

The 2020-21 group stages are set to start on 21-22 October and finish on 9-10 December and will only be broken up by November's two-week international break.

United have arguably the most difficult set of fixtures immediately after Champions League group games, with meetings against three of their fellow 'top six' clubs.

Chelsea and Arsenal visit Old Trafford on the weekends of 24 and 31 October respectively, while the first Manchester derby of the season will take place on 12 December.

City, meanwhile, welcome Premier League champions Liverpool to the Etihad after their third Champions League group game on the weekend of 7 November.

Liverpool face trips to Brighton and Fulham as well as the Etihad, while they welcome Sheffueld United, West Ham and Wolverhampton Wanderers to Anfield.

Chelsea face a London derby against Tottenham Hotspur and renew their rivalry with Leeds United after their fourth and fifth group stage games respectively.
