Re: 2014-15: Advance news of fixture schedule
The fixtures for next season are out.
Week 1
Arsenal - C Palace
Burnley - Chelsea
Leicester - Everton
Liverpool - Southampton
Man U - Swansea
Newcastle - Man C
QPR - Hull
Stoke - A Villa
West Brom - Sunderland
West ham - Spurs
I bet Moyes is annoyed at Man U's opening fixtures (Swansea, Sunderland, Burnley, QPR, Leicester, West Ham). No disrespect to those clubs but it's a nicer start for LVG than it was for Moyes!!

POLICE and the Premier League are locked in urgent discussions over Arsenal’s early-season fixture list which sees a raft of high-profile matches – including two London derbies – kicking off late on a Saturday afternoon.
It is understood there are fears that the combination of football fans having all day to drink, and then spilling out into crowded Saturday night streets at about 7.30pm, poses a significant risk of crime and disorder after the matches.
Arsenal start the Premier League season on Saturday, August 16, playing south London team Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium with a 5.30pm kick-off.
Then, on September 27 they play local rivals Tottenham, again kicking off at 5.30pm. On Saturday, November 22, they host fierce Premier League rivals Man Utd with the same kick-off time.
All the games are high profile, but it is the Tottenham and Crystal Palace matches that worry police most

Re: 2014-15: Fixture Changes Thread
In a remarkable coincidence all three of the Premier League games which
would have to be moved again if the sides were in Champions League on the Tuesday
have all had Wednesday games chosen by UEFA
So
QPR v Liv
Mcy v MUn
Cry v Liv will not be moved
And also Qpr and Aston Villa have lost in League Cup so the MNF game in late October will go ahead
