Premier League Twitter account accidentally LEAKS Manchester City's first game of the Premier League season is against Bournemouth - three days before the fixtures are officially announced - revealing Erling Haaland's potential debut opponents

The Premier League appears to have accidentally leaked Manchester City's first game of the new season - and Erling Haaland's potential debut opponents.

The English top-flight's Twitter account revealed City's title defence will begin against Bournemouth - three days before the fixtures are officially released on Thursday.

Responding to Pep Guardiola's side and defender Aymeric Laporte on Twitter, the Twitter page - with 33.1million followers - posted '@afcbournemouth' with an hourglass emoji.

That seems to indicate City will start with a clash against Scott Parker's newly promoted side, who went up after finishing second in the Championship, two points behind champions Fulham.
