Premier League clubs prepare to go global this summer as part of their bid to promote new managers, new players and new kits.

But more importantly, to prepare for the 2022/23 season and fly outside the United Kingdom borders for pre-season matches for the first time since 2019.

With coronavirus restrictions eased all over the planet, Premier League sides will again travel across the globe to get into shape in the off-season.

Let's take a look at the most exciting pre-season fixtures involving elite English clubs to watch out for in the coming weeks.

Regardless of the place and country, each of the following four matches will witness fans watching football live online with passion and enthusiasm as ever.

#1 Liverpool vs Manchester United

Liverpool's pre-season campaign gets underway with a handsomely-looking friendly against familiar foes Manchester United at the Rajamangala Stadium, Bangkok, on July 12.

Last season's Premier League runners-up have had a busy summer thus far after their pursuit of a historic quadruple fell apart down the final stretch of 2021/22. 

Divock Origi, Takumi Minamino and Sadio Mane left Anfield to move abroad, while £85m-man Darwin Nunez and Fabio Carvalho jumped in to fill the void. 

Meanwhile, the Red Devils are ready to kick off a new cycle under newly-appointed manager Erik ten Hag and potentially without superstar forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 37-year-old has handed in a transfer request after growing frustrated with the club's inability to compete for silverware, as per the Daily Express

#2 Arsenal vs Chelsea

All-London match-up between Arsenal and Chelsea at the Camping World Stadium, Orlando, will highlight the upcoming Florida Cup, currently known as the FC Series.

Bitter rivals will exchange tackles in their final United States Tour fixture before heading back to Europe to complete their pre-season preparations.

Mikel Arteta will be excited to throw marquee summer signing Gabriel Jesus into the mix after the Brazilian notched a second-half brace against Nurnberg on his debut.

On the other hand, Thomas Tuchel's squad will undergo massive changes under the new owners in the summer, and this encounter will serve as a perfect test ahead of the new season. 

#3 Manchester City vs Bayern Munich

Manchester City's mouth-watering summer friendly against perennial Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich scheduled to take place at Lambeau Field falls on July 24.

That will be an opportunity for former Borussia Dortmund talisman, Erling Haaland, to add to his tally against Julian Nagelsmann's side despite leaving Germany this summer. 

Pep Guardiola's side came out victorious in their most recent warm-up fixture against Bayern as they turned a 2-1 half-time deficit into a 3-2 win in the 2017 International Champions Cup. 

#4 Tottenham Hotspur vs Roma

Fresh from guiding Tottenham Hotspur to a top-four Premier League finish last season, Antonio Conte prepares to lock horns against familiar adversaries. 

Spurs' intriguing summer friendly against reigning Europa Conference League champions Roma will take place at the Sammy Ofer Stadium, Israel, on July 30.

Roma boss Jose Mourinho has some unfinished business with Tottenham and will be looking to prove them wrong by relieving him of his duties in April 2021.
