The countdown to 2019/2020 has officially started
32 days. It’s only been 32 days since Manchester City defeated Brighton to be crowned 2018 Premier League champions, yet here we are, gearing up for the new season.
After the ‘leaks‘, the genuine 2019/2020 fixture list for the English top flight has finally been published.
European champions Liverpool, who finished second last season, feature in the season’s first game – hosting newly promoted Norwich at Anfield on Friday August 9. This game will be shown on Sky Sports.
City begin their defence away to West Ham in the early kick-off the next day, shown on BT Sport.
Arguably the biggest game of the first weekend, however, is the one which takes place at Old Trafford on Sunday, where Manchester United host Chelsea in a 4.30pm kick-off.
