Liverpool will embark on their Premier League title defence with a game at home against newly-promoted Leeds United as the 2020-21 season gets under way on 12 September.
That means Jurgen Klopp and co will be the welcoming committee for Marcelo Bielsa – a coach whose methods will be tested in England’s top division for the first time.
The Reds will then make a trip to Stamford Bridge in order to play Chelsea in their second game of the season on 19 September and things don’t get any easier after that, with a game at home to Arsenal on 26 September.
Aston Villa follow soon after that on match-day four, with that game set to be played on 3 October.
Fans won’t have long to wait for the first Merseyside derby of the season against either, which follows on 17 October. That game is scheduled to be played at Goodison Park, with the corresponding derby at Anfield on 20 February.
Liverpool’s first league meeting with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City – their nearest rivals last term – will come at the Etihad Stadium on 7 November, with the home match set for 6 February.
Interestingly, they won’t lock horns with eternal rivals Manchester United until 16 January next year and that match will take place at Anfield.
While the Reds’ opening batch poses a difficult path to navigate, their Christmas and New Year run-in is somewhat more forgiving – on paper, at least – with games against Crystal Palace, Newcastle United and Southampton among the scheduled games, but there will be a showdown with Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham on 16 December.
Though they will make a trip to Old Trafford to play Manchester United at the beginning of May, Liverpool’s final run-in of the season will have them take on Southampton, West Brom and Burnley, before wrapping the season up at home to Crystal Palace.
