Two warm up fixtures to get us started….and a couple of bogey teams to finish with….at least we have a good chance of picking up points over our rivals when they have relatively tough games when we have some very winnable games…we also have a good chance to open up a gap early in the year.   I guess we can assume a number of these fixtures will be changed as there is only 2 Sunday games scheduled?

September and October look like fun months - get to play Man City, Arsenal and United... With the Liverpool fixture not far away either. 

 

EDIT: Last 6 of the season includes Arsenal, United and Liverpool too... Could be a tricky run in!

I'm thankful all those games are around then and not during our usual November/Christmas slump!

Sky will be organising which games they put on TV so dates and times will change when they're announced.

everton as well at the start... away. wow. 

We're playing United, City, Liverpool away in the first couple of months. Get them out of the way at the start. Great news.

Hopefully get of to a decent start with them fixtures. Run in is going to be very tough. Liverpool at home 3rd from last game of the season. Look what we did to them last year 3rd from last game of the season. Hopefully its in the bag by then!

By November 9th we should have played Arsenal at home and Liverpool, United, Everton and City all away. Will see how our title challenge is sitting at that point lol.

We seem to always play bloody Liverpool away in May.

Liverpool late on in the season again will have Sky salivating and probably talking about "title decider" already.

 

It's going to be pandemonium 

If we do win the PL we'll be lifting the trophy at home as well, that'll be sweet

We're away to them in November....... Home in May

 

Oh what a cock up from me, good news.

Not that we will but if we get to the League Cup final a fixture would have to be moved for that, anyone know the date of the final

Liverpool late on in the season again will have Sky salivating and probably talking about "title decider"  for Chelsea and relegation battle for Liverpool already.

Just made a couple of corrections for you mad_mac..

We play Sunderland away 1 week then midweek home to Spuds then away to Newcastle the following weekend!

Seems a bit harsh with all that travelling.

i just don't believe these are randomly generated at all.  as folk above have said, we always play Liverpool in November and late April/May.  is it by chance that you get derby double headers like Spurs v Arsenal  and the merseyside derby on the same day?? - don't think so, it looks like the needs of the tv companies influences the fixtures from the very start

See my post in the other thread.

 

The draw is random and then fixtures are traded for maximum commercial/tv revenue.
