Buckle in, the Premier League is coming! While many of us are wondering where our summers went thanks to the non-stop World Cup action, it’s incredible to think that in just over a month the week-in-week out hustle and bustle of domestic football will once again be back on the box.
And what an opening weekend we have in store, as all of last season’s top four grace our screens. Manchester United’s new era under Louis van Gaal will be the official curtain raiser on BT Sport, before Arsenal take on Crystal Palace over on Sky Sports on Saturday 16th. The action will pick up once again on Sunday as Liverpool host Southampton, which promises to be a tasty affair with Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana against their old side, which will be followed by champions Manchester City at Newcastle. Oh, and there’s Monday night as well, with Chelsea at newly promoted Burnley…
Here are he fixtures that will be on the box through to the end of November…
