AFC Bournemouth
AFC Bournemouth’s Premier League fixtures have been announced for the 2017/18 campaign.
Of all 38 fixtures, there’s usually a couple of games supporters find at a glance and look for immediately.
Here are five fixtures that you may be scrambling through your fixture list for ahead of the new season.
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (A) Saturday 14th October
The Cherries have never played at the new Wembley Stadium but will have the opportunity with the trip to Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs are playing their games at the ground as their new stadium is being built and roughly 3,000 tickets will be allocated for away fans by the London club.
SOUTHAMPTON (H) Saturday 2nd December
Our first south coast derby of the season comes at Vitality Stadium in December.
Southampton make the short trip on Saturday 2nd December and the Cherries will be looking to earn their second Premier League triumph against the Saints.
WEST HAM UNITED (H) Tuesday 26th December
Last season saw a Boxing Day trip to London opposition, Chelsea, but this season London opposition will be visiting Vitality Stadium the day after Christmas Day.
West Ham United are the visitors and Eddie Howe’s side have a good record on Boxing Day, drawing two and winning three and losing just once in the last six games on the day after Christmas.
BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION (A) Monday 1st January
Newly promoted Brighton and Hove Albion are the New Year’s Day fixture this season.
Last season, a trip to Swansea City came on New Year’s Eve, but there may be a few sore heads in Brighton on New Year’s Day this season!
SOUTHAMPTON (A) Saturday 28th April
One of the most eagerly anticipated fixtures, the Cherries travel to Southampton in late April with the game being one of the last three fixtures of the campaign.
That could up the ante if teams need points in the derby.
ALL FIXTURES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
