I saw the BBC sport headline yesterday. "City vs West Ham, Liverpool vs Fulham and Forest vs Newcastle".
Why do they need to mention Liverpool at all? They finished second. Fair enough mentioning the champions or Forest since it's been so long. But Liverpool? Do they always have a fixation on the second place team when they announce fixtures? Was this the case when United finished second the season before last ( had a quick search and couldn't find the page) ?
2020/2021 announcement attached. No mention of City.
