Liverpool begin their 2024/25 Premier League season at Ipswich Town on the opening Saturday; The Reds face Man Utd at Old Trafford in opening month in new boss Arne Slot's third game in charge; Liverpool end campaign at home to Crystal Palace
Tuesday 18 June 2024 13:00, UK
Arne Slot kicks off his Liverpool reign with a lunchtime trip to newly-promoted Ipswich Town on the opening Saturday of the 2024/25 Premier League season.
The Dutchman will then come up against compatriot Erik ten Hag when Liverpool take on arch-rivals Man Utd at Old Trafford in just his third game in charge of the club with the game currently scheduled for Saturday August 31.
The Reds face tricky-looking back-to-back clashes at home to Chelsea and away to Arsenal in October, before hosting Manchester City at the end of November.
The first Merseyside derby of the season comes at Goodison Park on December 7, while Liverpool begin the new year by entertaining Manchester United on January 4.
Slot's side travel to the champions on February 22, before the second Merseyside derby of the campaign on April 2 and they conclude the season by taking on Chelsea (a) and Arsenal (h) in consecutive games in May, with Crystal Palace coming to Anfield on the final day.
Analysis by Sky Sports Data Analyst Adam Smith:
Liverpool have the easiest opening six Premier League fixtures on paper, according to the average position of opponents' league positions last season.
The Reds' upcoming average league opponent ranked only 14.8 in the standings last term.
