The Premier League fixtures for the new season will be announced no later than August 21.
The new campaign will start on the weekend of Saturday, September 12, and will finish on Sunday, May 23.
Hammers fans will be hoping for a start to the season similar to that of last year when apart from an opener at Manchester City their games included Brighton, Villa, Watford and Bournemouth.
It begins to feel – with the 20/21 games being announced so soon -as if football has never been away and with the players returning to training imminently we can prepare for another and hopefully much improved campaign.
Whether David Moyes manages to make additions to his squad ahead of the new campaign or starts with the same personnel as finished the last is the other big question we wait to be answered.
