Fixtures 2011/12: Provisional Dates

Manchester United's bid to retain the Barclays Premier League trophy in 2011/12 will begin with a trip to West Bromwich Albion.

This match is initially scheduled for Saturday 13 August but like all fixtures, it's subject to change and fans are advised to wait for confirmation before booking travel or accommodation. Selections for live TV broadcasts and, consequently, the revised kick-off times will be announced in due course.

It's the first time in six seasons the Reds will play away from home on the opening day. Old Trafford's first action will come the following weekend when Tottenham visit M16 on Saturday 20 August. That's the first of three consecutive home games against London opposition: Arsenal (27 August) and Chelsea (17 September) follow shortlty afterwards, with a trip to Bolton sandwiched between.

At the other end of the season, the Reds finish with a tricky trip to the Stadium of Light to face Sunderland on Sunday 13 May. The last home game is against newly-promoted Swansea City on Saturday 5 May. United's full 2011/12 list is as follows:
