There is now less than a month to go before the start of the new Premier League season and the fixtures for Newcastle United and the 19 other clubs in the top-flight will be officially announced this week.
A quick turnaround from the last season, which was delayed due to the coronavirus crisis, adds a fresh challenge for the teams in the division, who have been unable to prepare as they usually would.
Fans are now eagerly awaiting the release of the Premier League’s full fixture list but a 'leak' may have indicated the opening fixtures for each team.
The Fantasy Premier League has gone live ahead of the 20/21 season and an eagle-eyed fan on social media spotted what appears to indicate the full round of opening day fixtures.
It’s suggested that the opening round of fixtures will include an eye-catching meeting between Steve Bruce's Magpies and newly-promoted Leeds United at Elland Road.
Other potential fixtures which catch they eye is Manchester United against Arsenal at Old Trafford, while defending champions Liverpool are said to be kicking off their campaign on the road against West Ham. Manchester City’s pursuit to snatch the crown from the Reds could begin with the hosting of Crystal Palace.
The only two teams not shown in the leak are Aston Villa and Tottenham, suggesting the pair will face off against each other, and another image circling on social media claims that the game will be held in north London.
