The opening weeks of the Premier League's 22/23 fixtures have been leaked online claiming Newcastle United will begin the season against Liverpool. Scheduled for Saturday 6 August, Eddie Howe's side then travel to Manchester United the following weekend.
With the full schedule not set to be announced until 9am this Thursday, many fans online have questioned the validity of the claims, with it being highly unlikely at present given there is no midweek clashes nor pauses for international tournaments too.
The Magpies of course began last season with a 4-2 home defeat to West Ham United, despite twice taking the lead in the first half through Callum Wilson and then Jacob Murphy.
