Leeds United supporters have expressed their relief at the spreading out of games against the ‘Big Six’ during the 2022/23 season. The Whites learned their fixtures for the upcoming campaign on Thursday morning and were greeted with a decent start that will hopefully yield a strong points return.
Wolves are the visitors to Elland Road on the opening weekend before Jesse Marsch and his players travel south to face Southampton at St Mary’s a week later. Then comes the toughest of Leeds’ first few games as Chelsea visit West Yorkshire on August 20, unless it is moved for television coverage. Trips to Brighton and Brentford either side of a home clash against Frank Lampard’s Everton see out the first six games, a run of fixtures Whites fans will be expecting a significant return form.
Those team had an average finishing position of 11 th last season. 10 Premier League teams face a tougher start to the season than that while the other nine, on paper, have an easier start to the campaign.
