Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson is expected to show anger toward the 2012-13 Premier League fixture as Man. United is going to play away after five of their Champions League group games, while archrival Manchester City have only one trip following European match.
Manchester / NationalTurk – Premier League fixture list is everything else than Manchester United and manager Alex Ferguson has hoped for. The Premier League fixture list will leave a sour taste in Sir Alex Ferguson’ mouth. Meanwhile on the other side of Manchester, defending champions Manchester City might be rubbing its hands together in joy as they have only one away game after Champions League group games.
Roberto Mancini’s Manchester City squad, who in May won their first Premier League title in 44 years, do not face Manchester rivals Manchetser United until 8th of December when they will host Sir Alex Ferguson’s team in a bid to make it three consecutive derby victories.
Manchester United vs Manchester City : Luck is with the City at the Premier League Fixture list
United’s Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to be deeply worried even remonstrant as usual with the Premier League fixture list for 2012 2013 season after it revealed that Manchester United will have to play away from home after five of their six midweek Champions League group fixtures, including though trips to Liverpool, Newcastle United, Chelsea and Aston Villa and the last but not the least the other away game is against nemesis Manchester City at the start of December.
With Manchester City at home in the Premier League when Manchester United are away, the champions of 2012 Premier League season have only one away game to play after midweek European competition battle. Chelsea will host Manchester City at that game which will be played at the end of November.
The away games situation is almost a reversal from last year, when Manchester City were away from home after all 6 of their Champions League group clashes while rivals Manchetser United had the benefit of playing at Old Trafford after every single of their European midweek ties during the Champions League group stage.

Manchetser United boss also expressed his frustration that they had to play each of the previous season’s top nine away from Old Trafford in the first half of the season and suggested that Man. United would send a representative to the Premier League to monitor how the fixtures are worked out ahead of the 2009‑10 campaign.
The first Manchester derby of the 2012-13 season Premier League takes place at the Etihad Stadium on December 8, while the reverse fixture will be played at Old Trafford on April 6. Manchester United will hope to banish the memories of their crushing 6-1 defeat at home to Manchester City last season, which affected United probably more dramatically than the loss of Premier League title last season vs Manchester City.
