Newcastle supporters appear to have been dealt the toughest blow by the schedulers, however.
The Magpies have two Sunday 4pm kick-offs away to Brighton and Swansea.
A fan travelling by road to the Swansea game from St James’ Park on September 10 faces a 708-mile round trip - bad news for anyone in work the next day.
The return trip to Brighton on September 24 is also a long one, clocking in at 690 miles according to Google Maps.
Newcastle’s away game against Town is at 1.30pm on Sunday August 20 and is a much more manageable 236-mile round trip.
But the Toon aren’t alone in getting the short end of the stick when it comes to the schedule.
Manchester City fans face a 526mile round trip to Brighton for a Saturday evening kick-off on the first weekend of the season.
They have a 508-mile round trip to Bournemouth for the early game on Saturday August 26 and a 414-mile trip for the late game on Saturday September 30.
That’s a total of 1,448 miles for either late or early kick-offs.
Liverpool’s fans will travel 1,048 miles, Tottenham’s 961 miles and Arsenal’s 747 miles. WAYNE ROONEY has rejoined Everton from Manchester United.
The 31-year-old issued a statement thanking United for the past 13 years and expressing his happiness at returning to his boyhood club.
Rooney, who was filmed at Everton’s training ground on Saturday, left the Toffees for Old Trafford in 2004 and returns after winning five league titles and a Champions League with United.
Everton announced Rooney had signed on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
Rooney said: “I have come back to Everton because I believe Ronald Koeman is building a team that can win something and I look forward to playing my part in making that a reality for the club I have supported since a boy.” CHELSEA have made their first major signing of the summer with the arrival of Roma defender Antonio Rudiger on a five-year contract.
The 24-year-old Germany international will reportedly cost the Stamford Bridge club an initial £29million with add-ons potentially taking the deal to £33.3m.
Rudiger will take over the number two shirt left vacant after Branislav Ivanovic’s departure to Zenit St Petersburg in February. WOLVES have smashed their transfer record to sign Ruben Neves from Porto and confirmed a loan deal for defender Willy Boly.
Defensive midfielder Neves has signed a five-year deal for around £15million to link up with former manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
Boly follows Neves from Porto and has penned a season-long loan deal as the Sky Bet Championship side continue to revamp their squad.
The club are also close to signing former Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy on a free transfer after Carl Ikeme’s shock leukaemia diagnosis.
