But some eagle-eyed supporters have noticed an apparent blunder - with players' next opponents seemingly being listed.

Should these be correct, the Premier League's September 12 return will be headlined by a blockbuster clash between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford.

If true, the pair will meet for the first time since New Year's Day, when Nicolas Pepe and Sokratis goals inspired the Gunners to a rousing 2-0 victory.

Although, the fact Man City are also supposedly scheduled to be at home, against Crystal Palace, calls the fixtures' accuracy into question.

Fantasy Premier League faced the wrath of fans last week, after a number of already infamous position changes on the game.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who netted players hatfuls of points with his 22 goals last season, has now been converted from a forward to midfielder on the game.

And he's not the only one, with Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Gabriel Martinelli having been given the same treatment.
