Newcastle begin at Fulham
?Newcastle's push for promotion back to the Premier League will begin away to Fulham on Friday, August 5.

Their first home game is against Huddersfield Town on Saturday, August 13, while they face play-off runners-up Sheffield Wednesday on St Stephen's Day.
The new season begins in earnest on Saturday, August 6 when Norwich face Blackburn at Ewood Park, while Roberto Di Matteo's tenure at Aston Villa will begin with a trip to Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday, August 7.
