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.

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

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