Manchester City began their 2013/2014 title winning campaign with a convincing victory over Newcastle United last August - and the blues will be hopeful of doing exactly the same this year as they travel to St.James' Park on Saturday 16th August to defend their title. 

An appetising home fixture against last years' runners up Liverpool will entertain an Etihad audience just a week later, and tricky fixtures against Chelsea and Arsenal also await Manuel Pellegrini's side in their first five games. 

The first Manchester derby of the season will take place at home on Saturday 1st November and the blues will travel to Old Trafford for the return game on April 11th.

(Manchester City demolished Manchester United in a 4-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium last September)

City haven't lost an opening day fixture since 2008 when Aston Villa ran out 4-2 winners at Villa Park six years ago.
