MANCHESTER, England -- David Moyes was given a challenging start to life as Manchester United manager Wednesday, with his new team handed fixtures against Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City in the first five matches of its Premier League title defence. Moyes already has a tough job replacing the great Alex Ferguson, who retired after nearly 27 trophy-laden years at Old Trafford, and the release of the 2013-14 fixture list hasnt given him any respite. After opening its title defence at Swansea, United hosts Chelsea -- also under a new manager in Jose Mourinho -- the following weekend. Then United plays great rival Liverpool away before a trip to City on the weekend of Sept. 21-22. Mourinhos first match in his second spell with Chelsea is at home to newly promoted Hull while Manuel Pellegrinis first taste of action as Citys new manager comes at home to Newcastle. "Starting the season at home is a great way for our supporters to show the players they are ready to be behind the team all the way, and at the same time it is a great way for the players to show how much they are motivated and committed," Mourinho said. "I am so happy to start at the Bridge." The opening round of the season takes place on the weekend of Aug. 17-18. Given all the managerial appointments among the big clubs, it is anticipated that this seasons title race will be one of the most hotly contested in years. If it goes down to the last day -- as it did two seasons ago -- United will be away at Southampton, City is at home to West Ham and Chelsea visits Cardiff, one of the other promoted teams. Arsenal begins the season at home to Aston Villa, Liverpool hosts Stoke and the first game in charge for new Everton manager Roberto Martinez is at Norwich.Custom Dallas Mavericks Jerseys .

Hefney is proclaiming his innocence. Regardless, the Bombers didnt sound all that concerned about what Mack described as more of a "potentially societal issue right now." "It, in and of itself, wont have any bearing on his status," said Mack, adding that Hefney would suit up as expected for the Bombers first exhibition game of the season Wednesday. The Toronto Argonauts are visiting Winnipeg for the first CFL game at Investors Group field, the Bombers new $200-million home on the campus of the University of Manitoba. "Jonathan says that hes completely innocent in this and were just going to take him at his word, because he is one of our teammates." Mack also suggested that the charge might be dealt with quickly. "Its my understanding that it actually could just go away because there are certain details of that that Jonathan has talked about that I dont want to talk about now." The Bombers have discussed the case with the authorities in South Carolina and even if Hefnney was convicted, Mack suggested it might not impair his ability to play in Canada.dddddddddddd But he says that isnt an issue right now. "He is definitely proclaiming his innocence. Were going to take his word on that." Of more significance to Hefneys career with the Bombers is how he plays, said Mack. Coach Tim Burke has said lately he is a lot happier with how his veteran starter at halfback has been playing in camp. The coach hasnt named names but he has singled out the secondary as one spot where some veterans could get tickets home if they didnt shape up. The Bombers were unhappy that Hefney didnt inform them of the bust, which they learned of Monday through the media, said both Mack and Burke. "Its disappointing," said Mack. "Id like to think we as an organization, I in particular as general manager, have been able to establish a relationship with all of our players . . . "Jonathan acknowledges that he could have handled that better. Its disappointing and hopefully something like that wont occur again." The bust occurred just before the main Bomber training camp started, while Hefney was driving May 31 in his home town of Rock Hill, S.C. ' ' '
