Of course, the opening game was set to be Aston Villa, who were originally scheduled as opening fixture on Saturday 12 September, has been postponed, to allow extra time to recover.

The first Manchester derby of the season takes place on Saturday 12 December at Old Trafford, with the return match at the Etihad on Saturday 6 March.

Other notable dates include first game v Liverpool is 7 November. On Boxing Day, City face Newcastle United at home, and the first match of 2021 will be away at Chelsea on January 2.

The opening 6 matches do provide some good, bad and very interesting match ups. Starting with Wolves, who always give City a tough game. Moving on to Leicester who are also a formidable opponent.
