Manchester United to open season against Chelsea Unlisted Video

(CNN)With the dust only just settled from last season's thrilling Premier League title race, thoughts now turn to the 2019/20 campaign after the new fixture list was announced on Thursday. "We have been discussing the football calendar with the FA [Football Association] and EFL [English Football League] for several months, including ways we can work together to ease fixture congestion, keep the Premier League action going right through the season and provide a mid-season player break," said the Premier League's outgoing CEO Richard Scudamore earlier this month.
