A section of Premier League fans has boldly alleged that the 2023/24 fixture list is rigged.

The Premier League released next season's fixture schedule on Thursday, June 15, with some mouthwatering matches set to occur in the early days of the campaign.

According to Sportbible, Chelsea's meeting with Liverpool on the opening day of the season is the most outstanding match of the first weekend.

Wolves fans unhappy with schedule

Wolves fans were the most outraged by the schedule, with many of them claiming that the Premier League rigged them.

Wolves are scheduled to play Manchester United in their opening match of the season and will conclude the season with a trip to Anfield to battle Liverpool.

@LiamOz9 tweeted:

"City and Liverpool in the same month twice 😂😅. Shock."

@HambletonLuca observed:

"Liverpool away? This is the 3rd time since we’ve gotten promoted that we go against them last game of the season."

@susiejon975 lamented:

"Just two home games in the first 7, somebody somewhere wants us to go down."

@kufoolch posted:

"Wolves last games each season since returning to the PL. Absolutely no way this isn't deliberate."

@Snakeskin92 concluded:

"You cannot tell me there’s not an agenda against Wolves with the fixture lists being away on the last day again."

According to The Sun, Liverpool played Wolves on the final day of the 2021/22 campaign.
