CHERRIES’ Premier League fixtures have been released – with promoted Cardiff first up at Vitality Stadium.
The Bluebirds finished second in the Championship last season and will be keen to make a positive start on their return to the top tier.
A trip to West Ham and a home clash with Everton rounds off August with the first game against a member of the ‘Big Six’ coming when Chelsea provide the opposition at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, September 1.
The first clash with Southampton is in Dorset on Saturday, October 20 while December provides a demanding schedule.
Cherries have seven games in the final month of the year, with Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham – on Boxing Day – and Manchester United – on Saturday, December 29 – among them.
Eddie Howe’s men entertain Watford on New Year’s Day and take on Southampton at St Mary’s on Saturday, April 27.
