Premier League announce dates for 2021-22 season as Marcelo Bielsa still eyes Leeds United safety

Next season's Premier League will start on August 14 and the competition will end on May 22.

All games on May 22 will kick-off at the same time.

Marcelo Bielsa s Whites sit in 11th place in the Premier League table and are 13 points clear of the drop zone with just nine games left.

Leeds have also played one game less than third-bottom Fulham and the Whites are as big as 200-1 to go down.

Speaking after last Friday night's 2-1 victory at Fulham took United on to 39 points, Whites head coach Bielsa was asked if Leeds had now reached the safety point that they needed and said: "These are speculations that will confirm themselves mathematically.

"And with 27 points left to play, the safety is not confirmed."
