      Bournemouth vs West Ham
      Burnley vs Man City
      Crystal Palace vs Chelsea

      And fans are convinced that it is the fixture list as one tweeted: “Liverpool get a promoted side. Grass is green.”

      A third said: “Luton vs Liverpool is definitely going to be the first game on FNF.”

      However, don’t get too excited as the list is likely to be a hoax.
      Most read in Football
      The main clue is that Luton are understood to have to play their opening games away from Kenilworth Road while refurbishment is taking place.
      Their potential opponents, Liverpool, have also asked to play away on the first day of the season as they carry out works at Anfield.
      So it would appear that that fixture is impossible.
      The Sun’s supercomputer has made its own prediction for the opening weekend of the Premier League.

      by

      The British boxer mixed it up with a number of legendary athletes, such as Roberto Carlos, Francesco Totti, Hernan Crespo as well as Usain Bolt.
      They took on England, consisting of a number of Three Lions greats like Paul Scholes, Jermain Defoe and Gary Neville, as well as Team GB icon Sir Mo Farah.
      Tommy started on the bench and was fielded by new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino after 21 minutes when he replaced Maisie Adam amid a loud ovation from the crowd.
      However, the brother of Tyson Fury failed to set the pitch alight the same way he has done in the ring against opponents like Jake Paul.

      That led to a swipe by his new rival KSI, who branded him “terrible” on social media
      The YouTuber, who is chasing a multi-million-pound clash with the former Love Island star, tweeted: “Tommy Fury should stick to boxing lmao, he’s terrible at football.”

      Fans joined in on Twitter, and some even branded him – rather unfairly – as the “worst” athlete to kick a ball.
      One fan posted: “Tommy Fury is one of the worst footballers I’ve ever seen!”

      Even though some fans mocked his skills, Tommy did actually show a moment of brilliance as he NUTMEGGED Arsenal icon Jack Wilshere with his first touch.
      More importantly, the boxer helped Soccer Aid raise a whopping £14,619,005 for UNICEF and his team also won 4-2.
      England found themselves a goal down courtesy of Bolt, but Asa Butterfield put the hosts level before Manchester United legend Scholes completed the turnaround.
      However, Tottenham great Robbie Keane’s two sublime finishes fired World XI back in front before Kem Cetinay sealed the win. More

      The 45-year-old was No.1 at Bramall Lane for eight years from 2010 and still remains a favourite with supporters.
      And he is never one to shy away from his love of the Blades and regularly winds-up their Steel City rivals Sheffield Wednesday – especially on Twitter.
      He firstly slammed them for blowing automatic promotion, but the Owls eventually got the job done on Monday.
      After an incredible record-breaking comeback against Peterborough, they then beat Barnsley in the League One play-off final at Wembley.

      Jibes have been going back and forth between players from both clubs throughout both United and Wednesday’s promotion celebrations.
      Blades forward Rhian Brewster wound-up Owls supporters first, before Wednesday captain Barry Bannan labelled him “absolutely f***ing honking”.
      Kenny was also keen to get involved and has been enjoying a social media back and forth with Owls goalie David Stockdale, who was sub keeper for the Wembley triumph.
      Ex-Fulham and Brighton stopper Stockdale tweeted Kenny from the dressing-room after the final and, alongside a snap of himself in his kit with his medal and beer in hand, asked: “@paddykenny17 you around sheff tomorrow?”

      Kenny replied: “TBF I didn’t even think you’d get a medal for sitting on the Judy Dench.”
      The two have continued the fun and games all week since, now things have been taken a step too far.
      Wednesday announced on Friday that 37-year-old Stockdale was leaving the club.
      Kenny was then out on the town last night and tweeted Stockdale a photo of himself enjoying a bevvy, captioning it with: “Fancy Sheffield tonight @stockogk1313.”
      He followed that up with another photo of himself with a bottle of Hooch.
      However, Kenny has now taken to Twitter to claim: “People calling my mobile and threatening to blow my kids knee caps off now that’s proper low and sums some people up, I’m all for banter but that’s crossed the line.”
      Stockdale replied to that tweet with: “Agreed. It’s all good humour in a great rivalry. Really not needed. Have a safe night Patrick.”
      That led to Kenny going back with: “You know it pal, people can’t take bants, do they not realise us keepers stick together.”

      Roma lost the shootout 4-1 as Argentine World Cup hero Gonzalo Montiel scored the decisive penalty after the game ended 1-1 after Gianluca Mancini’s own-goal cancelled out Paulo Dybala’s opener.
      The Italians came under fire for playing a cynical brand of football as well as players continuously surrounding British referee Anthony Taylor to try and force decisions.
      Taylor waved away protests for two Roma penalties – while he also ordered Montiel’s crucial spot-kick to be retaken after encroachment from Roma and former Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio.
      Mourinho was fuming with the decision and lashed out at the official after the game, branding him a “f***ing disgrace” while in the stadium car park.

      However, Neville claimed that Mourinho and Roma only have themselves to blame as he tweeted: “Roma were a disgrace” on Thursday morning.
      The tweet, however, has since been deleted, and Neville has not provided any further comment on the fixture.
      Taylor dished out 13 yellow cards to players and also handed one to Mourinho, who also made his feelings clear in his post-match interview.
      He told Sky Sports Italia: “Each of us react in a different way, one cries, another doesn’t, but the truth is we are all very sad.

      “We return dead tired, dead with feeling it is unjust.
      “It was an intense, masculine, vibrant game with a referee who seemed Spanish. It was yellow, yellow, yellow all the time.
      “The injustice is shown by the fact Lamela should’ve had a second yellow, he didn’t, and he converted a penalty in the shoot-out.
      “What I said is we either leave here with the Cup or we leave dead. Well, we’re dead.
      “We’re dead tired physically, dead tired mentally, dead because we think it is an unjust defeat with lots of incidents that are debatable.”
      Ahead of the game, Sevilla paid tribute to former goalkeeper Sergio Rico, the stopper has been hospitalised after a horse-riding accident. More
