Premier League announces full fixture list for 2020/21 season; Crystal Palace face Southampton on opening weekend with Brighton to come on October 17
Thursday 20 August 2020 09:00, UK
Crystal Palace will kick off their 2020/21 Premier League campaign at home to Southampton and play fierce rivals Brighton in their opening five fixtures.
It will be a tricky start for Roy Hodgson's side, hosting the Saints before games against Manchester United, Everton and Chelsea. Brighton will then visit Selhurst Park on October 17 in their most anticipated fixture of the season.
Boxing Day will see a trip to Aston Villa followed by home games against Leicester and Sheffield United to see in the new year. The return fixture against Brighton at the Amex Stadium is set to be played on February 20.
Much like the beginning of Palace's season, the end also includes some tough fixtures, with home games against Manchester City and Arsenal in May before a final day trip to Liverpool on May 23.
