I remember reading a BBC article on the way they choose the fixtures
It is heavily influenced by policing man-power in the area, which generally means that you don't play at home when another local team is playing at home (btw, that local team may not necessarily be in your division)
Anyway, it all means that there are actually only a small number of teams in your division that you'll be drawn against for your first fixture
I'd take Man City away and Arsenal away first two. Teams will be out of rhythm and two difficult games out the way plus imagine if we get a win and a draw!
It's always the same, we get a tough away game that we lose but it's not tough enough that we don't harbour hope of a win, thus dashing our optimism in a narrow defeat, whilst Arsenal play someone useless at home and win 6-0.
