With the Prem set to restart just a month after the World Cup has ended, the English F.A has announced their opening day fixtures for the new season which begins on August 14.
The most eye catching fixture of the lot is an early showdown between Liverpool and Arsenal. Manchester City open with a grudge match with bitter rivals Tottenham who forced them out of a Champions league spot last season, while the revitalised and promoted Newcastle with kick-off against long time rivals Manchester United.
