Just a week later sees their first home game when they welcome last season’s runners-up Liverpool to St Mary’s on 17th August.
For the fourth consecutive campaign Saints will end with a home game, with newly promoted Sheffield United making the trip South on May 17th.
After some tough runs of games in past years, Saints will be pleased to see their fixtures with the top-six spaced out.
