Woof. It's fair to say that Tottenham and Leeds have a brutal start to their 2020/21 campaigns.

Spurs will start the impending Paulo Fonseca era by hosting champions Manchester City, while Leeds will return to the scene of their 6-2 defeat last season with a trip to Manchester United.

As for Norwich City, they face a brutal return to life in the top-flight by way of playing Liverpool, City, Leicester City and Arsenal within their opening four games. Talk about a 'welcome back' present.
