1.  Man Utd v Leeds United 14th August 2021

The new season kicks off with a bang, with this classic north England rivalry. This is one for the ages, a game that never fails to entertain.

3.  Arsenal v Chelsea 22nd August 2021

This Classic London derby between these two teams are things of legend, where the drama is endless. This is a fixture where you will get to see players getting sent off, making tough tackles, managers having a go at each other on the sideline and a lot of goals. What more does one ask for from a football game, so be sure you do not miss it.

4.  Liverpool v Chelsea 28nd August 2021

After having a season to forget Liverpool will be looking to make a statement to show that they can still compete for titles, and there is no better place to make a statement than trying to beat the current European champions Chelsea, with players like Mohamed Salah going up against N’Golo Kanté and both sides being coached by some of the best Managers in the game. This has all the makings for a classic blockbuster matchup.

5.  Rangers v Celtic 29nd August 2021

One of the fiercest and famous rivalries in the world of football is back, and the stakes could not be any higher for this season with Rangers stopping Celtic from winning 10 in a row last season and winning their  “55” league title. Surely Celtic will be hungry for revenge to take back their crown from their bitter rival with their new manager Ange Postecoglou or is Steven Gerrard going to be setting the blueprint for a new era of domination from the Rangers?
