It looks like we have somewhat of a rough start, but I like playing Chelsea early. The rest of it, at a glance, looks fairly balanced to me. As usual, there are some more difficult sections.
We might know more about the difficulty of some times when the Europa League draw is done.
Edit: I’m putting the full list below in case people want it here on TAN.

I thought it was that the system prevented the last season’s top 6 meeting in the first round of games… so with Chelsea finishing 12th it made it possible
Sep 3: Liverpool vs. Villa
NT Break
Sep 16: Wolves vs. Liverpool
Sep 21: LASK vs. Liverpool
Sep 24: Liverpool vs. WHU
Sep 27: Liverpool vs. Leicester
Sep 30: Spurs vs. Liverpool
Think we’ll be above them come May, but I always get the jitters going to their place. Maybe it was because of Kane tbf - he always seemed to score against us.
I don’t think any team is a problem for us. But we generally slip after a NT break. Also, hoping our players return unscathed. Think around 15 of them will be on duty.
