Newcastle kick off their campaign at home to West Ham before a trip to Aston Villa and the visit of Southampton round off a reasonably decent start to the season in August.

A long away trip to Southampton on New Year's Day has drawn understandable ire from some supporters, while the end of season run-in could hardly be tougher with Liverpool (h), Man City (a) and Arsenal (h) in three of the final four matches before a final day trip to Burnley on May 22. The next key date for fans to look out for is the announcement of TV fixtures. Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon Prime Video will be the Premier League's live broadcast partners again this season but unlike last season, all games will no longer be shown live owing to Covid as fans are set to return to stadia next term. As such, BBC One will no longer show live games this season and will revert back to their highlights package only on Match of the Day and Match of the Day Two. In terms of the live TV announcement, the Premier League confirmed this morning that August's live TV fixtures will be announced by Monday, June 21. A statement read: "This season will see 200 matches shown live in the UK by partners Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon Prime Video. "Broadcast selections for the month of August will be announced by Monday 21 June 2021. "The Premier Leagues UK live radio partners, BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT, will continue to present the action across each weekend, including the 15:00 slot on Saturday afternoons."
