Liverpool’s 2024-25 fixture list: Good start, tough end

The launch of the new season

The 2024-25 Premier League fixture list has been released and Liverpool will kick off their campaign under new manager Arne Slot with an away game against newly promoted Ipswich Town. This match is scheduled for Saturday 17th August with a confirmed kick-off at 12.30pm. The Reds will finish the season at Anfield, facing Crystal Palace on May 25.

Favorable programs for the beginning of the season

Liverpool’s initial performances seem to favor new manager Arne Slot. After the opener against Ipswich, Liverpool will face Brentford, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth. According to Opta, this run represents the easiest average opposition for any Premier League team at the start of the season. This theoretically advantageous start could give Slot a great opportunity to build momentum early in the campaign.

Challenging season finale

In contrast, the race at the end of the season looks more challenging for Liverpool. The Reds will face Everton, Fulham, Tottenham, Leicester and West Ham in their final fixtures, with Manchester City and Newcastle in seventh and sixth from penultimate respectively. This tougher late-season schedule is likely to test Liverpool’s mettle as they push for their goals.

Device list dynamics

Manchester City, Liverpool’s perennial rivals, look set to have a more challenging start to the season, but an easier game compared to Liverpool. For Arne Slot, taking over from the legendary Jürgen Klopp, the focus will be on making the most of the opening matches. The first part of the season seems almost designed to give Slot the best chance of a strong start, providing a platform to build confidence and team cohesion.

Conclusion

Liverpool’s 2024-25 Premier League campaign features an intriguing mix of fixtures. With a relatively easy start and a challenging finish, the season will require strategic planning and endurance. Fans and pundits alike will be keen to see how Arne Slot navigates this schedule as he steps into Jürgen Klopp’s shoes. As the new season approaches, optimism and anticipation will be high at Anfield.
