The fixtures for the 2017/18 season were revealed early on Wednesday morning, in what has turned out to be a favourable fixture list for our beloved United.
A perfect 'middle of the road' fixture against an average West Ham side to open the season followed by a row of four fixtures in which a home tie with Everton seems most tricky completes our season opening.
We play Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal away during the first half of the season in october, november and december respectively meaning the trickiest of away fixtures with the exeption of City and Spurs (who in my opinion won't make a top 4 finish in view of their temporary stadium switch) are out of the way before new year.
Our Christmas schedule includes a home game against Bournemouth (12th Dec) before away games against WBA (16th Dec) and Leicester (23rd Dec) are followed by two games to close out the year against Burnley (boxing day) and Southampton (30th Dec) at Old Trafford.
The final 6 games are also favourable with WBA, Bournemouth and Brighton being sandwedged by games against City away and Arsenal at home before a last day date with Watford at Old Trafford.
