THE Premier League fixtures for the 2021-22 season have been unveiled - so how are Leeds United expected to fare in their second campaign back in the big time?

Marcelo Bielsa's Whites stormed to a superb ninth-placed finish upon their top-flight return last season and their second term back in the country's top division will start with a trip to arch rivals Manchester United over the opening weekend of August 14.
