Read on for all the latest on the Premier League fixture list and who Saints will be playing on the opening day and beyond, What games will you be unable to see early in the season due to fans not being allowed in ?

As rumoured Saints will start the opening day in London but not against against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but further South at Crystal Palace.

They follow that up with Tottenham at home and then Burnley away to complete September, a mixed bag as a god away trip will be missed to Palace, but Burnley is not a happy huntng ground.

In October we host West Brom and that could be the first game supporters are allowed back into, meaning that season ticket holders might only miss one game in total, two maximum.

Xmas will be a bust period, Fulham away on Boxing Day followed by West Ham at home between Xmas and New Year (What again) and then Liverpool on January 2nd also at home.

May will be a busy month with 5 fixtures in 23 days, we start with a game at home against Leicester on 1st May the 45th anniversary of our FA Cup win in 1976, follow that up with Liverpool away and will end with an away game at West Ham..

For those that travel away there will be some good days out missed, aside from Crystal Palace & Burnley in the first month, if away supporters are not admitted till the new year then we will also miss trips to Chelsea, Aston Villa, Wolves, Brighton, Arsenal & Fulham, all games where we would expect a good support.

That means that in the New Year most of the trips are in the North, aside from the two remaining London games at Spurs and West Ham there is nothing South of West Brom.

Usually when a fixture list is released it means excitement, perhaps not this year, usually most fans would be picking the games they would want to go to, not this year, unless you have a season ticket you are unlikely to see a home game until 2021 and going away will probably not be possible until that timescale either.

60yearsandcounting added 17:48 - Aug 20 We are bound to be at the top at season's end according to latest, oh so reliable, press news. We will have Jack Butland and Danny Welbeck in the team!!!! Combined age of around 65? DW has more suspect bones than Andy Carroll and Butland has been abysmal! They have to be the worst cases of journalistic fantasy since.....well, Trump's press spokesperson last spoke!
