Premier League 2021/22 opening day fixtures in full: Tottenham host champions, derby for Chelsea

The Premier League season may feel like it has only just finished, but we are already thinking about the new campaign.

And, to that end, the fixtures for the new 2021/22 campaign have been released.

The 2021/22 season will kick-off on Saturday, August 14, little over a month after the conclusion of the delayed Euro 2020 tournament which is in full flow right now.

Manchester City claimed the crown last time out, winning the league title by a comfortable eight-point margin ahead of rivals Manchester United.

And there is a juicy clash for the reigning champions on the opening day of the new campaign that involves one of our clubs.

City will make the trip to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on August 14 against a Spurs side with a new manager in place - likely to be Paulo Fonseca.

That is one of the pick of the fixtures on the opening day, with a tasty-looking rivalry between Manchester United and Leeds United also set to take place at Old Trafford.

There's a London derby too, with Chelsea hosting Crystal Palace, while Brentford's first game in the big time is also a London derby - against Arsenal.

Of course, all these games are subject to change depending on television coverage.

Opening day fixtures in full:

Brentford v Arsenal

Burnley v Brighton

Chelsea v Crystal Palace

Everton v Southampton

Leicester City v Wolverhampton

Manchester United v Leeds United

Newcastle United v West Ham United

Norwich City v Liverpool

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City

Watford v Aston Villa
