Charlton Athletic start the season with a classic tie as they face rivals Everton, a re-run of the final game of last term when a Kelly McDougall goal secured second spot for the Blues and condemned Charlton to third.

Elsewhere Fulham start with the visit of West London rivals Chelsea and Champions Arsenal start their defence with a trip to the North West to face Blackburn Rovers.


In the Northern Division newly promoted Crewe travel to Lincoln, while Preston, also coming up this season, face Tranmere.

Of the newcomers to the Southern Division, Barnet will face a home tie with Millwall while Keynsham travel to Southampton.

All fixtures take place on 20 August, while the full season list will be released on TheFA.com on Monday.
