Newcastle United will begin their 2015-16 Premier League campaign by welcoming Ronald Koeman's Southampton to St James' Park on August 8th - and Steve McClaren will not experience his first taste of a Tyne-Wear derby until October 24th. McClaren's first St James' Park date could change as a result of the Saints' involvement in the UEFA Europa League, possibly pushing it back to the Sunday, however. The Magpies visit the Stadium of Light in their 10th Premier League fixture of the season, while the rivalry will be renewed at St James' Park on March 19th, 2016. McClaren will also return to Old Trafford, where he assisted Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United's assistant at the turn of the millennium, with Newcastle on August 22nd, the third fixture of the season. Jose Mourinho will attempt to lead champions Chelsea to his first-ever Premier League victory at St James' Park on September 26th, while Alan Pardew will have to wait until April 30th, 2016, before he can return to the North East with Crystal Palace - if he is still in charge by then. All these fixtures are obviously subject to date and time changes once television gets involved, but here are the Magpies' 2015-16 Premier League matches in full...
