Leeds’ first Premier League game for 16 years will see
Marcelo Bielsa’s men travel to defending champions Liverpool, while
Manchester City and Manchester United will miss the opening weekend
to give them extra time to recover from a late end to the 2019/20
season.
All sides were guaranteed by the football authorities to have at
least 30 days off between the two seasons after the late finish to
the campaign caused by a three-month stoppage due to the
coronavirus pandemic.
City and United were eliminated from the Champions League and
Europa League respectively last weekend, three weeks after the end
of the Premier League season.

Chelsea and Wolves will start their seasons on Monday September
14th after they too were involved in European competition into
August.
Leeds are back in the top-flight for the first time since
2003/04, but could not have asked for a tougher start, on September
12 against the champions who have not lost a league game at Anfield
in more than three years.
Tottenham host Everton, Arsenal travel to newly-promoted Fulham
and Chelsea are away to Brighton on the opening weekend.
City and Liverpool are scheduled to meet on the weekends of
November 7 at the Etihad and February 6 at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp’s men do not face traditional rivals Manchester
United until 2021 with the Red Devils visiting Anfield on January
16 and Liverpool heading to Old Trafford on May 1.
