Before that, Moyes opens the 2013-14 campaign at the League Cup winners Swansea on 17 August and then after hosting Chelsea, United go to Liverpool on 31 August.

The north-London clash is the start of a testing opening to the season for Villa, who have a home match against Liverpool and a trip to Chelsea in the following two games.

Crystal Palace’s first game back in the top flight is against Tottenham at Selhurst Park. Cardiff – Championship winners last season – start their campaign at West Ham then have home games against Manchester City and Everton.

Roberto Martinez’s first competitive match as Toffees manager is at Norwich, while Merseyside rivals Liverpool start with a home game against Mark Hughes’ Stoke.
