'No excuses here!' - West Ham fans confident as 2021/22 Premier League fixtures released

West Ham have found out their Premier League fixtures for the coming season and the Hammers start off with a trip to Newcastle United on the opening day of the season.

There are just 59 days until the new campaign gets underway and it will be a busy one for West Ham with a European tour added to their schedule.

The release of the Premier League fixtures is a provisional one for the Hammers with a number of their matches due to be rescheduled thanks to their participation in the Europa League.

West Ham's first home match of the season sees them take on Leicester City before welcoming Crystal Palace to the London Stadium.

An away trip to St Mary's to face Southampton before a home clash with Manchester United round off the opening five matches for David Moyes' team.

The festive period sees West Ham supporters avoid any lengthy away days with the final match before Christmas a home game against Norwich City and another home game on Boxing Day, with Southampton the visitors.

Two away games follow with a trip to Watford on December 28 and a London derby against Crystal Palace on New Year's Day.

West Ham supporters seem to be reasonably happy with their lot although a few difficult matches immediately following Europa League games are a cause for concern for some.

Here's what some fans have been saying about the fixture schedule.

Perhaps the Hammers hardest run of fixtures come at the end of the season when Moyes' team face Chelsea (a), Arsenal (h), Norwich City (a), Manchester City (h) and Brighton (a) to conclude the campaign.

Mark Noble's final match in front of the West Ham supporters is set to come on May 15, when the Hammers host reigning champions Manchester City in what is sure to be an emotional occasion for all at the club.
