Premier League fixtures 20/21: every club’s opening three matches - from Leeds to Man United and Liverpool - and how to watch on TV

Premier League champions Liverpool will face Leeds United on the opening weekend of the season it has been revealed.

Other newly promoted sides Fulham and West Brom will face Arsenal and Leicester respectively.

The Premier League schedule was released on Thursday morning, with the first round of fixtures set to be played on the weekend of September 12.

Two Gameweek 1 fixtures, Manchester City v Aston Villa and Burnley v Manchester United, will be required to be rearranged in order to allow the two Manchester sides a 30-day break following their efforts in Europe.

Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers will both play their fixtures on Monday September 14 after their own European journeys.

Key fixtures

Liverpool and Manchester City meet on November 7 and February 6, with Manchester derbies slated for December 12 and March 6 – with all dates subject to change for TV coverage.

North London derbies between Arsenal and Tottenham are scheduled for December 5 and March 13.

Leeds United will face Manchester United on December 19 and April 24, a typically fierce encounter which has been dormant in recent years.

By the time Liverpool host Crystal Palace on that weekend they will hope a successful title defence has been completed, though the likes of Manchester City (Everton at home), Manchester United (Wolves away) and Chelsea (Aston Villa away) will want to have something to say about that.

Leeds and West Brom will hope their final-day shoot-out is not a relegation one, as will Fulham and Newcastle, while Arsenal close against Brighton, Leicester at home to Spurs, Sheffield United against Burnley and Southampton at West Ham.
