LEEDS UNITED WILL begin their Championship campaign next season away to Bristol City with defeated play-off finalists Derby County facing a Monday night clash with recently relegated Huddersfield Town in their opener.
The full set of fixtures for the 2019-20 campaign were released this morning. Derby, whose manager Frank Lampard has been linked with a move to Chelsea, are away to Huddersfield, who finished bottom of the Premier League last season, on 5 August. Derby had narrowly missed out on promotion when losing the play-off final against Aston Villa last month.
Marcelo Bielsa, who guided Leeds to a third place finish last season, will start out with his team in Ashton Gate on Sunday 4 August in a game that will be televised live on Sky Sports. West Brom, the other team that featured in the 2018-19 play-offs, travel to take on Nottingham Forest in their opening game.
