Crystal Palace open their campaign up at home to 2019-20 away specialists Southampton before a difficult visit to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in their first away game of the season.

A trip to rivals Brighton & Hove Albion awaits in their fifth outing, while December sees them face three of last season's top six.

It is a difficult end to the season too - nine of their last 10 matches come against teams that finished higher than them in 2019-20, including May home games against Manchester City and Arsenal and a final-day trip to face champions Liverpool at Anfield.
