there is a since it is learning from there is a since it is learning from the failings of the past —— rebuild trust. laura scott, thank ou. the premier league fixtures are in. they were published the morning. plenty of mouthwatering clashes in what is going to be a unique year. ben croucher is at the touch screen to break it all down. yep, it's been just 25 days since the premier league season ended and already we're looking ahead to the next one. football never sleeps! before we get onto those opening games, let's tell you how and why this season is a bit different. the why is pretty simple really — the world cup in november and december. so, as a result, the season will start a bit earlier on the 5th of august. it then takes a break midway through november. the premier league has agreed to the fa's request with the big six not playing each other this weekend — although how that stops players getting injured or kicked is a bit of a mystery. newcastle chelsea's probably the best game that round and restarts on boxing day.

it then finishes a week later than this year on sunday 28th of may. the fa cup final is the week after that, followed by the champions league final onjune 10th. it's going to be a long old season. lots of midweek games to cram in. now, i suspect you'll hear manager complaining about the fixture congestion. christmas isn't too bad all things considered. the world cup final is on 18th of december. matches get going on boxing day. there's no midweek game between then and new years eve. instead, that extra match will be just after new year. so, ben, tell us the interesting stories to come out of the fixture schedule then. ican i can see crystal palace are opening up. as with last season, arsenal kick off the campaign with a london derby on friday night. they're away at crystal palace. liverpool travel to fulham in the lunchtime game on the saturday —

the fourth straight year they've played the championship winners in the opening game. frank lampard's everton face chelsea first up. erik ten hag takes on brighton at home in his first game as manchester united manager, whilst manchester city begin their title defence at west ham united. what have you been saying about the fixtures? mark says as a lifelong west ham fan, he's looking forward to seeing erling haaland in the flesh. stu is a bit concerned with southampton's start and run—in. he's a southampton fan. spurs, manchester united, leicester and chelsea in august then a run in of forest, fulham, brighton, liverpool. a relegation battle for the saints? we shall see. james is buzzing for newcastle's games.

but fears for brentford's games at the end of the season. chelsea, forest, liverpool, west ham, spurs and manchester city. wow. that is quite some run in. just to say the scottish premiership fixtures are released at 9am tomorrow morning. i appreciate you forjoining us, thank you. england women announced their squad for this summer's home european championship yesterday. tonight, that squad will get an opportunity to put their hand up to be selected for the opening game of the tournament against austria in the first of three friendlies. belgium up first at molineux. 0ur reporterjane dougall is there for us. all eyes are going to be on sarina wiegman. she made a big decision leaving out steph houghton. i think a lot of england _ leaving out steph houghton. i think a lot of england fans _ leaving out steph houghton. i think a lot of england fans and _ leaving out steph houghton. i think a lot of england fans and the - leaving out steph houghton. i think a lot of england fans and the rest . a lot of england fans and the rest of the england squad are still reeling from that decision. steph houghton such a strong player,

hello there and welcome to sportsday. the us open has begun at brookline golf course in boston. iain carter is in boston. rory mcilroy managed to get it four under par. he had a bogey at the final hole. probably impressive first round. really behaved itself. a lot of very good par saves as well, but at the 18th, he pushed his second shot under par four. 18th, he pushed his second shot under parfour. slightly 18th, he pushed his second shot under par four. slightly frustrating end, but good enough to put him into his chair of the lead. in the final analysis at a us open, he has to be delighted with that kind of score. is also been a pretty good day for
