Anyone else noted that we play Spurs twice (A and H) before we play Man U for the first time?! Is that allowed? I don't think I have ever seen that before.

Is that due to the Spurs game being moved ?

Where is that mentioned? Not spotted it.

You make a good point! This also highlights we only play 3 teams between our home and away fixtures with UTD

However valid your point may be, I do not think it warrants its own thread

Maybe - I was interested to know if there was an explanation. We will treat it as one of the PL's many idiosyncrasies!

Don't see that this is an issue. In December 1963 we played them at the Turf on Boxing Day and beat them 6 - 1 and the return fixture at Old Trafford was just 2 days later on the 28th and they beat us 5 - 1!
