QPR up first for Swans

Michael Laudrup's Swansea open the 2012/13 Barclays Premier League season with a trip to QPR on August 18.

New boys West Ham visit Liberty Stadium a week later while the Swans entertain Sunderland on September 1. Games against champions Manchester City are pencilled in for October 27 (away) and May 4 (home) while clashes with Manchester United are scheduled for December 22 (home) and May 12 (away) in what is a tough run-in for the new manager. Reading are Swansea's Boxing Day opponents at the Madejski Stadium, with a home game against Aston Villa coming on New Year's Day. The Welsh club finish the season with a home game against Fulham on May 19.
