The Premier League has on Thursday morning announced the opening-day fixtures for the 2020/2021 season.

The new season will run from Saturday, September 12 to Sunday, May 23, 2021.

Champions Liverpool will face Championship winners Leeds United in the standout opening weekend game of the 2020-21 Premier League season.

Championship play-off winners Fulham will host Arsenal, while West Bromwich Albion, the third promoted side, are at home to Leicester City.

However, Manchester City versus Aston Villa and Burnley versus Manchester United will be rearranged.

The two games will not be played on the opening weekend to give City and United 30 days since their defeats in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and the semi-finals of the Europa League respectively.

Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers’ opening matches are both scheduled for Monday, September 14 after their slightly earlier European exits.

The Blues are at Brighton, while Wolves go to Sheffield United, which will also take place on Monday, September 14.

The other opening weekend fixtures are Crystal Palace v Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur v Everton and West Ham United v Newcastle United.

Exact dates and kick-off times will be confirmed when the television selections are made. Matches will be played behind closed doors amid the coronavirus pandemic.
