Champions Liverpool will face Championship winners Leeds United.

Champions Liverpool will face Championship winners Leeds United in the opening weekend game of the 2020-21 Premier League season.

Championship play-off winners Fulham will host Arsenal, while West Brom, the third promoted side, are at home to Leicester City.

The opening round of fixtures will take place on the weekend of 12 September.

However, Manchester City v Aston Villa and Burnley v Manchester United will be rearranged.

Those two games will not be played on the opening weekend to give City and United 30 days since their defeats in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and the semi-finals of the Europa League respectively.

The other opening weekend fixtures are Crystal Palace v Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur v Everton and West Ham United v Newcastle United.
