That's not official.

Burnley date hasn't been confirmed yet. They're splitting the Carabao Cup games into two different weeks (because of Champions League and Europa League games).

So I expect the Burnley game to be moved to the week before.

That's for certain, because they're not allowed to make us play two days in a row.

Yeah i see, there would be a space for the game a week after, i assume the 23rd/24th.

But still, it’s a crazy amount of games. We also need to squeeze in the burton game at some stage as well lol

Some games will take place on week beginning 15th September and the rest will be on week beginning 22nd September, so our's will be week beginning 22nd September because of the Exeter game.

They had to split it into two separate weeks because Champions League and Europa League games also take place in those weeks, but each team will only play in one of those weeks. That's also the reason why Champions League and Europa League teams couldn't be drawn against each other.
