Fulham

Swansea City and Fulham square off against each other at Swansea.com Stadium in a highly-anticipated Championship game.

Stoke City welcome Preston to their Bet365 Stadium in the first game of the year. The Potters aim to kick off 2022 in style, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side.
