Even more reason for a pre-season friendly at Wembley as Chelsea will be having one.

Spurs have 5 home games straight after CL matches, Chelsea + Utd 4, Liverpool 3, City 2.
6 opponents after CL games are Swansea, Huddersfield, Liverpool, Crystal Palace, WBA and Stoke. Only Huddersfield are away.

It's about as good as you can possibly hope for.

Yep it's nice to say something positive about our fixtures.

Let's just hope that we will be going into those games off some good results this time!

No Hazard, No Costa...Surely, Even with the new players coming in, Chelsea won't be as strong as they would want to be start of season. First game at Wembley but IMO could be blessing in disguise to play them early in the campaign.

Two revenge games to start the season against Newcastle & Chelsea - atleast this can get the players to settle & focus. Hopefully, we get whom we want asap & integrate into the team before preseason starts.

As a Spurs fan I'm entitled to find a negative. This suits us too much and we will inevitably slip up at least once. Poch out by Christmas.

The Chelsea fixture could well hurry along any transfer business,almost feels like a final .Sure everyone at club will have this game fixed in their minds pre season .

Well only had a quick browse, not the kindest of starts. Yet again a pretty tough October and November schedule, and end of January into February.

Think this is the 8 th time we faced Liverpool at home in the 1st half, then travel there in the February, March period in the last 10 seasons. Also for the 3rd or 4th season running we play at the library in the 1st half and in a batch of toughish fixtures.

Glad we got spam pretty early at their place and then again at end of the xmas period.

Middle of Jan to Middle of Feb looks very tough. Atleast end of season, isnt that bad.

Of the top7, Everton have the worst start to the season...
Stoke (H),City(A),Chelsea(A),Spurs (H), United (A)
As usual hopefully this puts them out of contention for top4 early on in season

I feel sorry for all of them having to face us at any time of the season.

It does look a nice set of fixtures for us though. Just a couple of tough back to back games but a nice December (busy month) and final run in so I feel good. At least playing Chelsea at home in our first league game at Wembley means we wont have a tougher game there for the rest of the season. Win that and confidence will be sky high.

I think responding positively to the last visit there is something.

There's fuck all random about the premier league fixtures.

You can pretty much guarantee that the NLD will be at their place in the Autumn, and our place in the run in.

Then there's the usual anomaly of Arsenal and Chelsea usually getting a home fixture and United playing a small team.
