Town look set to be handed an away start to their 2019/20 campaign when the League One fixtures are announced at 9am next Thursday.
The Premier League fixtures were announced this morning and with the Blues and Norwich rarely scheduled at home on the same day, conclusions can be drawn on how Town’s 2019/20 might look by looking at the Canaries' programme.
Norwich have been handed a trip to Liverpool on their opening weekend of the season, which suggests the Blues will be at home for what would be their second game with an away match therefore appearing to be getting the campaign under way the previous week, the weekend of Saturday 3rd August with the EFL beginning a week earlier than the Premier League.
Following that second weekend first home League One game, the Blues seem set to have two more away matches, which comes as little surprise with Ed Sheeran playing concerts at Chantry Park around the weekend of Saturday 24th August.
Going by Norwich’s festive fixtures Town look to be at home on Boxing Day and away on New Year’s Day.
The Blues also appear likely to have a home game on the final day of their League One campaign, Saturday 2nd May, with Norwich at Chelsea that weekend.
As ever, Town’s fixtures will be available on TWTD when they are officially released at 9am next Thursday.
