At last we can unveil just who Saints will face in their first game of the 2013/14 season in the Premier League.

The wait is over and Saints opponents will be West Bromwich Albion away on August 17th, a week later they follow that up with underland at home on the 24th and Norwich Away on the 31st, before heading into the two week international break.

After that its West Ham at home and Liverpool away in a start that on paper at least looks decidedly easier than last  seasons spell from hell.

Saturday 19th October sees the trip to Old Trafford, assuming of course its not changed for TV and exactly a month later on the 23rd November its the Emirates, followed a week later by another london trip to Chelsea.

The first midweek match is at home to Aston Villa on Tuesday 3rd December which starts a difficult December, Man City at home on the 7th, Newcastle away on the 14th, Spurs at home on the 21st, a tough trip to Cardiff on Boxing Day followed by Everton away on the 28th.

The New Year like this year starts with a home game, Chelsea visit SMS, to complete a month long spell that could be dubbed this years spell from Hell, with 7 games where we will be lucky to pick up 7 points, if fact if we do it will be a result.

The season ends with a home game and for those who dont like co incidences we face Manchester United at St Mary's, exactly the same fixture that saw us relegated in 2005, but then again on the bright side, the last time we faced West Brom on the opening day of the season, albeit at home that time, we ended the season in triumph winning the FA Cup at Wembley, so there are two sides to every story

REEDYREEDOREEDZ added 10:44 - Jun 19 Phew! Much kinder fixture list compared to last season. We've got all very winnable home games until we play Man City in December. Should definitely get off to a better start than last season!! If we can win those home games and pick up points here and there on the road then it could set us up for a very good season. COYR!!!

Whatsforpud added 11:12 - Jun 19 The same as last season in respect of being away on the first, away on Boxing Day, and home on the last. I wish the fixture programming would not arrange having pairs of homes and pairs of aways. There are 3 of each next season. A lot to shell out for non-ST holders.
