SAINTS will start the 2015/16 Premier League season away to Newcastle.

Ronald Koeman's side are scheduled to visit St James' Park on Saturday, August 8, although the game will need to be moved to the Sunday because of their involvement in the third qualifying round of the Europa League.

The first home match of the campaign is at home to Everton, on Saturday, August 15.

Boxing Day will see the club host Arsenal, while they are due to visit Norwich on January 2.

Saints will finish the season at home to Crystal Palace, while they host Bournemouth on Saturday, October 31, and visit their south coast neighbours on Tuesday, March 1.
