PALACE! Chuffed to bits that we get to kick off the new season, and in a London derby as well. Come on you Eagles!
Matt in London
We'll be running through everything throughout the day so don't sweat!
But here are a few key fixtures...
First Manchester derby is on October 1 at the Etihad Stadium, with the return on January 14 at Old Trafford.
Two weeks after that first clash with United, City head to Anfield on October 15 and, in what could be a key clash in the title race, face the Reds again on April 1...
MUCH more to come today.

It would be great if Forest get Leicester first game. Big rivalry, big game.

Think opening game of season is worse time to play newly promoted team as they're full of confidence.

Teddy in London: Would love a grudge match against Spurs, should be an easy win and a grudge match will get the boys fired up, from a Chelsea fan.

With any luck, City will start their title defence against Chelsea and Liverpool will get Forest.

Regarding the fixtures, why not copy the NFL and handpick the last days fixtures in advance. eg. Man City v Liverpool, Chelsea v Spurs, Man Utd v Bournemouth...... Etc etc, to make things really exciting!

Always look to the last day to see the big relegation play off. So this year it's Fulham, Bournemouth or Forest v Leeds, Southampton, Everton or Brentford.

It is believed the Magpies have offered about £30m for the 22-year-old Netherlands Under-21 centre-half, who has also been linked with Serie A champions AC Milan.
Newcastle first made an offer for him in January. At the time, Botman said there had been "concrete" offers, but wanted to stay with Lille for the remainder of the season before "hoping to make a nice transfer next summer".
Newcastle are also hoping to sign France U20 striker Hugo Ekitike from Stade de Reims and have already signed Aston Villa left-back Matt Targett for £15m.

John Guy: Absolutely agree with Rob, from Manchester. Liverpool seems to get newly promoted team first game of the season, every season in the past.
James Whitehead: As a Huddersfield Town fan, I'm totally not looking for the Nottingham Forest fixtures at all.

Saints traditionally tend to never win or do well in our first game of the season. So I would prefer one of the big boys. Just to get them out of the way.

Gumbo74: West Ham: I'd rather we didn't get one of the promoted teams, hiding to nothing. Wouldn't mind Man City or Liverpool to get it out the way. Ideally - Spurs at home.

Always excited for the fixtures. Check 1st game, 1st home game, Boxing Day game, last game! Then when we have Spurs, Liverpool, Utd & City. I then get them all in my diary. Love it. C'mon You Blues! (Chelsea season ticket since 1979).

You've got to love it, haven't you?
It evokes memories of sitting with a calendar and marking your weekends, bringing structure to your year.
It is the first marker and a reminder that the wait for football will end soon...
Image source, Getty ImagesThey may not have had to wait as long as Nottingham Forest, but both Fulham and Bournemouth will be eager to make a positive impression on their top-flight return. Could they cause a few problems for a few teams this season?

Every year Liverpool seem to get a newly promoted team first, so I expect same today. Champions used to at least start at home but my City team seem to get tough away games to start every year.
