Phew! It wasn't easy, but I just about managed to round up all the newly revealed fixtures for next season's Premier League.

I've tried to keep my focus on the Big Guns and the Newbies.

 

Champions Manchester United will begin their Premier League title defence at home to Newcastle on the 16th of August.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side, who pipped Chelsea to the title last season, close the campaign with a trip to newly promoted Hull City on May 24th.

United face top-four sides Liverpool and Chelsea away on successive weekends, September 24th and 20th, before also visiting Arsenal on November 8th.

The Red Devils are at home to Chelsea on the 10th of January, play host to Liverpool on March 14th, and Arsenal visit Old Trafford on May 16th, the penultimate weekend of the season.

Scolari's Blues start with a home game as the Premier League runners-up entertain FA Cup winners Portsmouth.

 

Chelsea then face Liverpool at home on October 25th and Arsenal at home on November 29th.

The Blues visit Liverpool on January 31st, Arsenal on May 9th, and are away to Sunderland on the final day of the season.

 

Arsenal's fixtures against fellow top-four side Liverpool are at home on December 20th and away on April 18th.

Liverpool begin their campaign away to Sunderland and face a final day home game with Tottenham.

Championship winners West Brom face a tough start at Arsenal and are away to Blackburn on the final day of the season.

Albion fans will be looking forward to trips to Manchester United on the 18th of October, Liverpool on November 8th, and Chelsea on Boxing Day.

 

Stoke begin their season with an away fixture against Bolton and finish up with a final day trip to Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal.

Hull will face Fulham on August 16th at the KC Stadium; Manchester United will face the Tigers come the end of the season.

I guess that's just about it, no rocket science really, I don't know about you but I can't wait for the all-new season of the world's most addictive drama called the "Premier League".

    Why do the FA always seem to manage to give us a top 4 side in the final 3 games. We've had Man United in the last 3 games in each of the last 3 seasons, if i remember correctly. We now have Arsenal in our 3rd last match.

    Arenal have Chelsea and man utd in the last 3 games! this fixture list was created by Bskyb for tv rights and revenue. Don't blame the FA for being money hungry, they have to pay for the champagne at the shareholders meeting you know. either way you have to play all 38 or 39 games so it matters not. just looking forward to August now.

    All I know is that Liverpool are away for the 1st game of the season for the 5TH!!!! time in a row!
    Guess that means a road trip to the North East instead of the hallowed Anfield
