Champions start at West Brom

Manchester United will start their defence of their Barclays Premier League title with a trip to West Brom.

Sir Alex Ferguson's men are at The Hawthorns on August 13, with their next two games at Old Trafford against Tottenham and Arsenal. The champions round off the campaign on May 13 with a match at Sunderland.

Coleman and Anichebe sign new Everton deals

Everton pair Victor Anichebe and Seamus Coleman have both signed new four-and-a-half-year contracts, the club have announced.

The duo are now committed to Goodison Park until the end of the 2014-15 season.

The news gives Everton a lift following the loss of influential midfielder Steven Pienaar to Tottenham earlier this week.

Irish winger or full-back Coleman, 22, signed his previous contract only last season but has been rewarded for his outstanding form during the current campaign.
