Sky Sports have announced their first set of live televised fixtures for the 2020/21 Premier League season starting with the opening day clash between Liverpool and Leeds.
Jurgen Klopp’s champions begin the first defence of their title by welcoming the winners of the Championship to Anfield.
It will be the first league meeting between the sides since 2004 as they prepare for an evening kick-off on September 12.
The first Super Sunday of the campaign will see a double header as promoted West Brom host Leicester at The Hawthorns, followed by Everton’s trip to Tottenham.
