The Premiership fixtures list was drawn up today (June 13, 2019), and the opening weekend has thrown up some pretty interesting clashes. The three promoted sides from the Championship- Norwich, Sheffield United and Aston Villa, will be all away from home on the first Match Day.
Norwich and Aston Villa will travel to Champions League finalists Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur respectively, while Sheff United have a relatively easier fixture in the form of a trip to the Vitality Stadium to take on Bournemouth.
Defending champions Manchester City will open their campaign away at former manager Manuel Pellegrini’s West Ham.
The big clash of the MD1 promises to be United v Chelsea at Old Trafford. LFC v Norwich will be played on 9th August (it officially kicks off the season), while NUFC-Arsenal and United-Chelsea will be played on 11th August. All others will be on 10th August (Saturday)
