Tough start for Emery at Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea as the first 2 games. Rough welcome to the premier league.

Nice looking start and finish for Liverpool. Quite nice looking starts for most of the top teams really (Arsenal aside)

That start for Arsenal is very suspicious. Never seen two opening fixtures like that before.

Don’t give me that. The FA only admitted recently that they fix the fixture list sometimes.

I can't see our first home fixture Spurs -v- Fulham going ahead so I think our first home game in the new stadium will be Liverpool on 15th September. That should give them plenty of time.

You are correct. Been confirmed.

The Champions League group stage will commence on 18-19 September, and last season's beaten finalists Liverpool face an away Premier League fixture before all of their six group games. That includes trips to Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.

That's gonna be a struggle for them surely. Lucky they're trying to get some more depth to the squad.

Palace first two games are Fulham and then Liverpool. Could be worse considering we always seem to do alright against Liverpool!

Looking good, Liverpool at our new home. Doubt I'll get a ticket.

I managed to get in pool 4 for season ticket allocations. Shocking prices though. I have an equivalent view as I did at Wembley last season but it's costing twice as much. Given i'm thinking of semi-retirement next year, it might a one off as a season ticket holder at the new ground.

Lol, looks like Moaninho has started early this season..

Might be a good time to play em. We don't have many at the World Cup where as both those clubs do. So we should be fresher. Got to play them at some point so why not when we have the fresher players.

Good point. When you list em out like that. It's just I've read over the last few days two articles saying that in comparison to City and Chelsea we don't have that many and that it could be a good time to play em.
