It was due to be announced on June 14th
Normally at this time of year we are all suffering from post Premier League blues, yearning for the return of league football. Thankfully this summer we have a World Cup to look forward to, but the curiosity remains.
The fixtures for next season’s Premier League season were set to be unveiled on June 14th, the same day the World Cup starts, but a leaked document has revealed the opening day fixtures.
If this list is correct, Manchester United will travel to the south coast on the opening weekend to play Southampton, while Tottenham Hotspur will have to make the trip up to Burnley.
There are no local derbies, but Crystal Palace will have the opportunity to get their revenge on Huddersfield, who beat the Eagles 3-0 at Selhurst Park on the last day of last season.
Newly promoted Wolves will travel to Chelsea, while Neil Warnock’s Cardiff will play away to Bournemouth.
