Southampton kick off the new season with a mammoth first month, as they face matches against Liverpool and Manchester United scheduled before the end of August.
Saints fans will be optimistic about a first full season under Ralph Hasenhüttl, but things don't start gently as his side face Burnley at Turf Moor on 11 August before a home match against Liverpool. After a south coast derby against Brighton and Hove Albion, Southampton face Manchester United in what will surely prove a great test of the Austrian's mettle.
Matches against the 'top six' are relatively spread out across the season for the Saints, with the biggest tests occurring at the start and end of the season. The final run-in for the end of the season involves two south coast derbies against Brighton and then Bournemouth, before the closing match of the season against newly promoted Sheffield United.
Other standout fixtures include a boxing-day clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, followed by a 1 January match away to Tottenham.
