Manchester City will start their title defence in an away fixture against West Ham United at the London stadium on Saturday, August 10. City have won the last three encounters at the east London stadium, scoring four goals on each occasion.

Liverpool playing against a newly promoted Norwich City will also have an upper hand on the match. The European Champions will face Arsenal and Chelsea within the first six fixtures of their campaign. They will meet City at Anfield on November 9 with the other fixture scheduled on April 4, 2020.

The other newly promoted team, Sheffield United, start their campaign at Bournemouth.

The Premier League announced last week that Amazon will show 20 matches in each of the next three campaigns, with the exact rounds confirmed on Thursday.
