Liverpool: Premier League 2024/25 fixtures and fixtures

Arne Slot begins 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 face compatriot Erik ten Hag when Liverpool take on the 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 back-to-back tricky games at home Chelsea and away to Arsenal in October, before host Manchester City at the end of November.

The first Merseyside derby of the season comes at Goodison Park on December 7, while Liverpool start the new year by entertaining Manchester United on January 4.

Slots’ side travel to the champions on February 22, before the second Merseyside derby of the campaign on April 2 and they end the season by taking on Chelsea (a) and Arsenal (h) in consecutive matches in May, with Crystal Palace coming to Anfield on the final day.
