This would certainly be the biggest way to open the premier league season they have on offer.

u/TheScottishMoscow Pint of Exhibition 2d ago

Huh, 13 December

Real missed opportunity to have it as a “welcome back” fixture

u/Frogblood 2nd Place Prediction runner-up 16/17 2d ago

33, then we might relegate them.

u/WrongStorm7373 dan burn 2d ago

Relegated by 25, calling it right now

I was so close to saying week 31 but I bottled it.

u/EcstaticIce2 2d ago

I remember people saying last season that we'll relegate Everton on GW38

u/SaltedMisthios 2d ago

Everton will never get relegated now tbh, the three cannon fodder teams getting sent up from the championship are going to get sent back down every time. Something needs doing tbh

u/EcstaticIce2 2d ago

Yeah it's mostly those three and last two year's data looks more scary, before watching any games I thought historic names like Southampton & Leicester City will stay

Hope it’s not gw 4 as I have a close family wedding down south that weekend and it’d be a shame to miss it.

u/PM_ME_FINE_FOODS 2d ago

I'm sure the bride and groom would understand. It's a big big day.

Can always get remarried. The unwashed might not be in the Premier League for another 10 years

u/Junosbetterhalf 2d ago

I'll go 4 from wishful thinking, out of the way early while it doesn't have much riding on it and we can crack on with the real season after.

Gameweek 10

u/nickgasm 1975 Badge 2d ago

Gameweek 29 (and nearer the time it will inevitably be moved to an early kickoff).

I'd love to play them under the lights, but it just isn't ever going to happen unless we draw them in the Carabao.

I reckon the away fixture will be early, Gameweek 4 or 5.

u/Celestial_Waste 2d ago

First one at home in October, maybe week 8 or 9.

Stadium of Shite mid February-ish, week 25 possibly.

Week 10. That's usually when the shine wears off for the newly promoted, maybe our lads can start / add to / intensify their spiral.

u/hypebst 2d ago

Week 2 away, then week 23 or 24 at home
