EPL Fixtures 2020/21: Which team is your club playing on the opening day?

After the seven weeks of break from the 2019/20 season, which ended late because of the pandemic, the 2020/21 season is all set to start from the 12th of September. The schedule of the 2020/21 season was released on the 20th of August with the reigning champions Liverpool will take on Leeds United. The Premier League body released the fixtures of the 2020/21 season at 09:00 BST on the 20th of August.

Six matches will be played on an opening day and other teams will play on subsequent days. Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers are given relaxations as they were involved with European commitments.

The fixture layout will remain busy until the Christmas eve or festive period because of the new norm. Moreover, only a few stadiums are in talks with the authorities to allow their fans inside the stadium. Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal are few clubs that are trying to incorporate their fans in the first half of the season. Though the number of cases is reducing and the curve is getting flat, authorities are not ready to risk by allowing fans.

Sheffield United will take on Wolverhampton Wanderers out of the traditional top-six clash. Wolverhampton Wanderers and Sheffield United had a similar season after getting promoted to the top flight and will hope to have three-pointer at the start of the season.
