Leeds United are eagerly awaiting their fixture list for the 2020/21 Premier League season but we might already know who they face first up.
The Whites earned promotion back to the top tier thanks to their Championship title success this past season and now they are preparing for the big time once again.
Leeds may not have executed many of their plans for the summer transfer window just yet but who they will be facing in the first round of games might have just been revealed.
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 shows that Leeds will host Newcastle United at Elland Road, with fellow newly-promoted sides Fulham and West Brom tackling Everton and Burnley respectively.
It’s suggested that the opening round of fixtures will include an eye-catching meeting of Manchester United against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
Defending champions Liverpool are said to be kicking off their campaign on the road against West Ham, while Manchester City’s pursuit to snatch the crown from the Reds begins 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.
