Full list of Premier League opening day fixtures ‘leaked’

The full list of Premier League opening day fixtures for the 2020/21 season has been ‘leaked’ according to reports emerging on Sunday morning.

The upcoming Premier League campaign will get back underway in just four weeks’ time – and some fans believe they have already seen the opening-day games.

With the 2019-20 season still in play with the semi final along with the final of the Champions League and Europa League yet to play out – the start of the new league season is just four weeks away.

It will all start again on the 12th of September as Liverpool bid to defend their first ever Premier League trophy and it’s expected to be the toughest season yet.

This means that teams don’t have long to prepare – and are set to learn their fixture schedules at the end of next week.

But some fans reckon they have spotted the opening day fixtures due to the Premier League’s official Fantasy Football website game.

Next season’s version is now live and fantasy managers across the globe can select their teams as they bid to get one over on their mates next term.

And what would appear to be a glitch in the game showed which side each player would be playing against for their clubs when selected by users.
