[BorzUSA]

Welcome back to the Premiership, Wigan.

[BrummieLad]

Welcome back? Uhm, this is Wigan`s first time in the top division, and it`ll be their only season amongst the elite :D

I believe these opening day fixtures to be untrue - a few times this has happened a few days before the fixtures come out.

Pompey at home will do me anyway :D

[Clan]

Away to Wigan on opening day?

I'll put the over/under on arrests at 150.

[Placid Casual]

Doesnt someone always claim to have inside information every year on the fixtures?

Anyone want odds that none of these are the opening day games?

Dead right. There's a "leak" every year and they're never right

It'll be nice to give Everton a slap of reality so early in the season.

[sarabella]

You'll have better luck slapping us later in the season, after we get tired. We'll be ready for you on opening day.

Hey if thats true, a Merseyside Derby is a great way to kick off the season. It will be great to hand the Evertonians a dose of reality, and show them who the true class of Merseyside are.

[ScottRP]

Yeah...Everton v Liverpool in the League on 13 August..just 3 days after their first leg in the CL third round qualifiers!

Is there a rhyme/reason to the scheduling or is it random??

I believe it's a random draw as to which games are which match day, then TV gets to decide which games are shown that weekend.

Arsenal v Bolton
Birmingham v Portsmouth
Everton V Liverpool
Charlton v Man City
Fulham v Blackburn
Man Utd v West Brom
Newcastle v Villa
Middlesbrough v Sunderland

Not gonna happen. These will not be the fixtures.

[MasterShake29]

Not gonna happen. These will not be the fixtures.

If this is indeed the case, then one or two of the games would be moved to Sunday and/or Monday.
