Hopefully we get Everton home and away midweek to vary it up a bit.

Would be good to get to ‘Goodison under the lights’ before they move.

100% not going to get a midweek game there whilst they are in their first few years of getting a feel for their new stadium.

 

Them away, and Palace away are my hopes for the first few fixtures, get them out of the way instead of playing them at the business end of the season again.

Excited to see this seasons premier league narrative, last season was aimed to upset our flow and get Eddie out asap. 
 

This season id imagine they want us on a “title charge” for the first 10 games.

Premier league rules are that we must play Everton away midweek.

Can we please just not have Man City, Liverpool and Brighton in the first 5 games of the season for the third time in a row.

Boxing Day will be definitely be a Manchester or Liverpool away 

It will be Liverpool.

 

It has to be a Northern team by the rules of the Premier League.

I think it will be Man City, based on how we are paired with the North London derby for our derby which is replaced by a northern team who come up, last year it was Sheffield United.

They won’t put the North London derby on the Boxing Day, so it rules that fixture out.

With Sheffield United and Burnley down, it means that we will likely get paired with Man Utd on that fixture (outside chance either us or Man Utd gets paired with Leicester instead, but I doubt it, as they would likely get paired with Forest), which would rule that being a Boxing Day match.


In the Manchester derby we were paired with Wolves, and Crystal Palace for the Merseyside derby last season, which we will likely retain.

We know they won’t play a local derby on Boxing Day due to safety concerns, so that rules both Wolves, and Palace out, although Palace would be ruled out in anyway due to not being a Northern team, and I doubt Wolves would be considered a suitable fixture.

 

This would mean that we are left with about 5 possible teams to play that weekend. Everton, Liverpool, Man City, and there is an outside chance that they would go with Forest (which is who we got last year), or Leicester. Villa (like Wolves) will likely be classed as too far away for a Boxing Day fixture.

Now we know they like to give us Everton during midweek, so that likely rules them out.

As mentioned, last year we got Forest, they could go for this again, but I doubt it.

 

This leaves 3 likely possibilities, Liverpool, Man City, and Leicester.

 

* Edited for further clarification.

People will joke that it doesn’t matter, but it’d be really nice to have a friendly start to get our confidence up. And give us some CL teams at home in October / November.
