The Premier League has published the fixtures and dates for all the 380 matches that will be played in the English top-flight for the 2023/2024 campaign.
Alex Iwobi and Calvin Basseyโs Fulham will start the season on August 16 against Manchester United at Old Trafford- the Nigerian duo scored in the same fixture last season and it will be interesting to see if they do so again.
Brentford will start with a tie against Crystal Palace at the Gtech Community Stadium, a game which could feature Super Eagles midfielder Frank Onyeka and Super Eagles-eligible forward Michael Olise provided either or both of them donโt move elsewhere in the current transfer window.
Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Ainaโs Nottingham Forest will host Dominic Solankeโs AFC Bournemouth at the City Ground in the opening weekend of the season.

Tosin Adarabioyo could make his debut for Chelsea against Manchester City at the Stamford Bridge with the clash both teams being the first fixture among the traditional big six.
