Premier League fixtures 2020-21 confirmed: Full EPL schedule for new season released

Alex Young @alexwsyoung20 August 2020

Arsenal have been handed a nightmare start to the season after the Premier League fixtures for the new campaign were announced this morning.

Mikel Arteta’s side will kick off against Fulham on September 12, but their opening seven games entail trips to Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United - as well as home matches against Leicester City and Sheffield United.

West Ham, who welcome Newcastle on the opening day, have an equally tough start as they face six of last season’s top eight in their first seven games - with that run including trips to Arsenal, Leicester, Liverpool and Tottenham.

Following their run to the Champions League last-16, Frank Lampard’s desire for Chelsea to be handed a late start has been granted and they will kick off the season on Monday September 14 at Brighton.

Manchester City and Manchester United, who went even further in Europe than the Blues, will start even later than that with their opening games against Aston Villa and Burnley respectively both postponed.

Fulham will be excited to start life back in the Premier League by entertaining Arsenal, while Crystal Palace host Southampton and Tottenham welcome Everton.

The schedule is exceptionally busy for all teams, with the season starting late due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Given their involvement in Europe, the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham face playing twice a week up until Christmas and it promises to be a gruelling run for players.

Arsenal’s start is undoubtedly the toughest of that trio as Arteta looks to build on the success of winning the FA Cup earlier this month.

After facing Fulham and West Ham, the Gunners travel to Liverpool before home games against Sheffield United and Leicester City come either side of trips to both Manchester clubs.

Chelsea’s slightly delayed start will please Lampard, who had urged the Premier League to give the Blues a slightly longer break seeing as they played Bayern Munich in the Champions League on August 8.

After their match against Brighton on the Monday of the opening round, however, they face a tight turnaround before facing champions Liverpool that weekend.

Other than a trip to Manchester United on October 3, Tottenham’s start looks relatively kind but they have a tough run around the end of November and into early Decemeber.

Jose Mourinho’s side could well be in the Europa League group stages then and they’ll have to manage that alongside League games against Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.
