The key dates to look out for from the Premier League 2017/18 fixture list
Football is never that far round the corner...
Just as one season ends, another one begins…
The Premier League released a fixture list for the 2017/18 season and we’re are set for an doozy of an opening day come 12 August.
Manchester United will face West Ham at home, while defending champions Chelsea host Burnley on the first weekend of the new term.
Spurs will head to St. James Park to face newly-promoted Newcastle, while Liverpool visit Watford. Arsene Wenger's Arsenal host Leicester, and Brighton welcome Manchester City.
Everton fans are in for a rough few weeks at the start of the season, having to face Stoke at home, before away games to Manchester City and champions Chelsea, before hosting Tottenham and travelling to Manchester United.
Derby watchers should circle 9 December, as that’s the first all-Manchester clash of the season, with City and United meeting at Old Trafford.
Liverpool fans should look out for 10 October for their first meeting with Manchester United at Anfield.
18 November shall see our first North London Derby, with Arsenal and Spurs meeting at the Emirates.
At time of writing, the fixture dates could be subject to some change, with BT Sport and Sky Sports yet to talk to the FA about which games could be moved for better TV coverage.
Other dates to look out for include New Year’s Day, when Chelsea will visit Arsenal, 28 April, when Arsenal travel to Manchester United with just two games of the season remaining, and the final game of the season, when Chelsea go to Rafa Benitez’s Newcastle – could they be returning to face their old boss as re-elected champions?
Sky Sports said of the fixture list: "We expect to bring you details of the first batch of Premier League fixtures - those to be shown live on Sky Sports in August and September - at the beginning of July.
"Sky Sports will show 126 live top-flight games in 2017/18 and mobile users will once again be able to see in-game goals and match highlights."
It is expected BT Sport and Sky Sports will confirm their TV listings for the beginning of July.
For now though, keep watching the transfer news, start planning your fantasy football team, and we’ll see you for the start of the 2017/18 season come 12 August.
And just in case we forgot your team, here’s that fixture list in full below. Enjoy!
