The long wait is almost over ... the Barclays Premier League fixtures for the coming season are revealed tomorrow morning and mcfc.co.uk is the place to see them first at a keystroke.

We'll be carrying the Blues' full match list from 9am as well as picking out the key games and the major talking points to give you an at-a-glance guide on what to expect for 2011-12.

Where do we kick off - will City finally land a home opener for the first time since 2005? When do we play the derbies? Have we pulled a cracker on Boxing Day? How will we see in the New Year?

The Premier League kick-off is on 13 August, the UEFA Champions League group games get under way on 13 September, and City will open the defence of the FA Cup on 7 January.

Roberto Mancini and his men have their eyes on the big prize this season, and you can savour all our fixtures - the route map to the title - at your leisure right here.

So launder your Bobby Manc scarf, check that the moths haven't had a crafty munch at your snood, and start looking forward to what should be a season to remember. Set the alarm now.
