It was to be Blackpool at home to Wigan originally but it was agreed the fixture could be reversed as ground improvements hadn't been completed at Bloomfield Road. Therefore Blackpool started with two away games.
We will 100% start with a home fixture as will Huddersfield.
I believe it only applies to clubs that are playing in the Premier league for the first time. For Watford this wasn't the case as it obviously won't be for Newcastle next season.
