Aston Villa to play Birmingham City in September and April, we could put them down

The fixtures are out and while we won't pay the money to list them all, as it is sort of unnecessary when you have the BBC, we can tell you who the first game of the season is against and the last.

First up is Wigan at home and then we are away to West Ham, so you'd like to think the potential for six points. However, the match most fans will look out for is Birmingham City and I can tell you that we'll be playing them on September 12th away and April24th at home. In theory, we could relegate them.

But, we shouldn't forget, that we also have matches coming up before the league season starts. They're listed below.

• Saturday, 18 July 2009 v Peterborough away
• Tuesday, 21 July 2009 v Colchester away
• Saturday, 25 July 2009 v Malaga, Peace Cup
• Wednesday, 29 July 2009 v Celtic Atlante, Peace Cup

It is also worth noting that some of those dates might change. For the full fixture list click here.
