But you're not picking the odds of Arsenal picking a big six team, you're picking the odds of one game on a particular matchday being a pair of two big six sides. There are 15 possible combinations of games between the top-six, out of a possible combination of 190 games between all sides in the league.

Arsenal are one of the Big 6 though, and we're calculating the chances of there being one game between ANY of them. The chances of there being one game between two teams who make up 30% of the league is very much NOT 7%. That's nonsense sorry, you're just calculating the wrong thing entirely.

How come if you put 23 people in a room together there is a 50/50 chance that two of them share a birthday ?

What do we all think about Spurs’ wage bill compared to ours, and the link between wage bill and league placing?

I've heard the fixtures are out in mid June.
It's just after the transfer window officially opens

Well, it's unlikely to be Luton away because they've asked for their first couple of games to be away from home as they've got to upgrade the media facilities at Kenilworth Road.

Liverpool have also asked for their first game to be away from home due to the re-development of the Anfield Road end.

Which I guess means that we have a bit more of a chance of a home game first up.

Thats great to know cheers. Well you just know then based on that then when their works are done their first game at home will be against us!

So the last 2 seasons Villa have played a championship team as first away fixture of season.
Watford and Bournemouth

They applied the Birthday Paradox to the 2022/23 PL squads and 10 of the teams had players with shared birthdays. Citeh and Newcastle had 2 sets apiece although Newcastle's squad had 28 players which raised the odds to 65/35. Yanited also had one shared birthday but their 31 man squad meant the odds were 73/27. Villa didn't have any (someone will probably blame the January transfer window for that as well).
