      16/17 Premier League Fixtures
      Jun 15, 2016 08:15:05 am


      The new Premier League season kicks off on August 13, 2016 and finishes on May 14, 2017. PL fixtures announced at 9am.

      The first games of the season will take place over the weekend of 13-14 August, however the Premier League is also keen to host more matches on Friday nights.

      Who do you fancy on the opening day? Who'd make for the nightmare start?

      We usually end up with a promoted team first. I'd like a winnable home game to start us off the season on the front foot. Think how we start could set the tone for the season. If we can get a few wins early we can build confidence and momentumm

      Ditto, a good start is essential and needs to be carried on through the season.

      Have we not requested the first two games to be away, so we can finish the stadium expansion?

      I know we put in a request but haven't heard if it has been granted or not.

      But I echo your idea of an easy game to get us going.

      Similar stitch up to last year with some huge away games in the opening 6 weeks. We've got Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea away plus Leicester at home in amongst our first 6 games. having said that, we performed really well in a lot of those games last year and then blew points against the so-called minnows so who knows.

      August

      13 – Arsenal (A)
       20 – Burnley (H)
       27 – Tottenham Hotspur (A)

      September

      10 – Leicester City (H)
       17 – Chelsea (A)
       24 – Hull City (H)

      Ah F**k it! If we're gonna win this league it doesn't matter who we have to play and when, we need to win every single game from August to May... and with no distractions in Europe this HAS to be the season we go for it!

      Bring it on!

      LFC have written to Burnley to ask if they can 'swap' the game on the 20th August - ie. so we would play at their ground.

      Making our first home game 10th September.

      Trust the Premier League to be arses about it and put our 2nd game as a home fixture. 4 of our first 5 games are ruthless :D Going to need a quick start.

      I like the last 2 months' fixtures though, none of the other so called big teams.

      I love those first six fixtures,  the most difficult game being Spurs away in my opinion.

      Having a big boy away for the first game is ideal. Both teams will be a little bit rusty, confidence and form doesn't come in to it, it can literally go either way, probably to the team who is the most fittest that early in the season and with Klopp managing things from the off this season then I have no doubt which team that will be. I expect us to out run them all over the park for 90mins and I'm confident we will bring at least a point back.

      I fully expect us to win our three home games, so that's 9 points already.

      Chelsea have a new manager so going to Stamford Bridge so early is again ideal for us. Get it out the way and bring the points home. No better time to play them in my opinion.

      Spurs is the difficult one but again it's best to get it out of the way now.

      Good fixtures, happy with them.

      Loving the optimism dude! Must admit i'm not quite so enthusiastic. I remember the in 08-09 under Rafa when we challenged for the title we had a relatively soft start to the schedule, we made a really good start and built momentum from there, same applied in 2012-13. Strange things can happen when you get off to a flyer but these fixtures make it that much harder. You made some good points on Chelsea and Arsenal though.

      We had a similar start to last season drawing at Arsenal, beating Chelsea, drawing at Spurs and at Everton so clearly it was some of the other so called easier games that really cost us, particularly at home.

      Yes, we've got some tough fixtures towards the beginning of the season.

      On the other hand we have a very easy tail end of the season, we could easily will all ten of our last games.

      Difficult away fixtures at the start of season, especially Arsenal on the opening day.

      Next season feels a bit more real now, only 8 weeks to go and loads of football to come before then.

      Doesn't bother me who we play or when, it just bugs me having to wait a week between games.  I get way too bored in between.

      If we get our sh*t together against the bottom feeders that run in is a piece of piss compared to previous years.

      I like it  ;D

      Mane as well if we get him but I thought Matip has had a falling out with the National manager, or not been selected for the recent fixtures.
