From the Manchester derby to the one in North London, the Premier League fixture list always jumps up a notch when a fixture features one of the traditional ‘Big Six': Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur.
While there are, of course, other huge fixtures including the Merseyside derby, the M23 derby between Brighton and Crystal Palace, and the potentially-awakened Nottingham Forest and Leicester City scrap, the focus is often on “the big boys” when they’re drawn against each other on a Premier League matchday.

The first such match of the 2022-23 campaign comes August 13 when Chelsea meets Tottenham at Stamford Bridge and the titillating tilts roll all the way through the season’s penultimate matchday when the Blues visit Man City at the Etihad Stadium.
Who has it rough? Man United is the first team to have staged two of the above matches and has two top-six scraps in four October days and has the same thing happen later in the season, when Arsenal also deals with such congestion.
Read on to see when the probable title-shaking matches hit your screens between early August and late May during the 2022-23 Premier League schedule.
