Manchester United’s home clash with Leicester will be the first game of the new Premier League season after it was moved to a Friday night for television coverage.

The 2015/16 champions’ trip to Old Trafford on August 10 will be shown on Sky Sports, which will also televise Tottenham’s lunchtime (15:00 UAE ) visit to Newcastle the following day.

Also on Saturday, August 11, last year’s Championship winners Wolves meet Marco Silva’s Everton in a 17:30 (20:30 UAE) kick-off that will be on BT Sport.

In the first batch of Sunday games, Liverpool take on West Ham and Arsenal host reigning champions Manchester City, both of which will be shown on Sky Sports, while Southampton’s home game against Burnley has been pushed back to that date due to the Clarets’ possible involvement in a Europa League game three days earlier.
