[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1404251, member: 85743"] As far as the fixtures overall, Wolverhampton Wolves has the toughest opening draw as 5 of their first 6 matches (in no particular order they have home matches vs. Everton, Manchester City and Burnley, and are away to Leicester and Manchester United) are against teams that finished in the top half of the table last season. The only one in the first 6 they face that didn't finish in the top half of the table will be at West Ham. Newcastle United, Cardiff City, and Fulham got some pretty tough early draws as well. On the opposite side, Manchester City got the easiest of the draws to start out, even with the match at the Emirates against Arsenal to open the season. 4 of their next 5 matches are against each of the newly promoted sides plus Huddersfield Town who just narrowly escaped relegation last season. The only other match in that first 6 is against Newcastle United who was 10th in the table last season. Everton (who I'll get into with my next post) as well as Burnley got some fairly easy draws to start out. [/QUOTE]
