The fixtures for the 2011-12 Premier League have been announced, with some teams having drawn longer straws than others.
Aston Villa, with new manager Alex McLeish, begin their campaign with a trip to London to take on Fulham at Craven Cottage, and follow it up with games against Blackburn Rovers and Wolverhampton Wanderers at Villa Park.
They are not pitted against any team that finished in the top six last season in the first two months of their campaign. But on the other hand, December sees them lock horns with Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal – all home games.
Owen Coyle may feel hard done by the fixtures after learning that Bolton Wanderers have to play five teams that finished in last season’s top six, in the club’s first sevel matches of the season.
The full set of fixtures for all teams that are neither new to the top-flight nor a part of last season’s top six are listed below – home games in bold.
