Next season's fixtures - Here we go again!...

Of course well over half of the dates are meaningless as Sky will no doubt tamper with the schedule in a big way, but at least it gives us an indication as to what stages of the season we meet our main rivals.

First up is a trip to Goodison on August 14th., but expect that match to be re-scheduled for television, especially if Wayne Rooney is still playing for the Toffees.

We have to avoid defeat in our first three matches - Everton away followed by two home games against Middlesbrough and Blackburn - if we are to break the record for unbeaten games.

Once again we have the opportunity to win the league against Spurs as we don't play them at Highbury until April 23rd. next year.

You can see the full fixtures here, but in due course our pages will be updated to show them, with links to match reports as usual.
