A post on social media may have given an insight into what this year's Premier League fixture list will look like.
The leak - posted to Twitter - appears to show the opening weekend of the Premier League season, which gets underway on Saturday August 12.
Three new sides will be competing in the top flight after Burnley, Sheffield United and Luton Town all secured promotion, replacing Leeds United, Leicester City and Southampton.
In the leak, defending champions Manchester City are in line to have a fairytale reunion with legendary captain Vincent Kompany as they travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley.
Luton meanwhile will be given no time to accustom to an 'easier' (yes, we know there are no easy games) and will apparently take on Liverpool, who will want to get back into the top four.
Manchester United will face a repeat of last year's opening day game, welcoming Brighton & Hove Albion to Old Trafford. They'll just be hoping that they don't lose this time around.
The standout game of the opening weekend would probably be Tottenham vs Newcastle United, both of which had contrasting seasons last year.
Here is the full list of the 'leaked' opening day of the season:
It's worth telling you all that you shouldn't take this as gospel. Every year, the fixtures are supposedly 'leaked', they are usually 99 per cent wrong. But, time will tell.
Whether there is any truth to these leaks or not will be confirmed soon, as the full Premier League fixture list is set to be announced at 9am on Thursday, June 15.
