Liverpool’s first three fixtures after the restart of the Premier League season have been confirmed, starting with the Merseyside derby.
The Premier League is set to resume the 2019/20 campaign on 17 June, with Aston Villa taking on Sheffield United and Manchester City in action against Arsenal.
A full round of fixtures will take place the following weekend, with the Reds set to take on Carlo Ancelotti’s side on Sunday, 21 June for a late kick-off.
Everton vs Liverpool – 21 June, 7 pm (Sky Sports)
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace – 24 June, 8.15 pm (Sky Sports)
Man City vs Liverpool – 2 July, 8.15 pm (Sky Sports)
The derby will be televised live on Sky Sports, who have announced they will broadcast the fixture for free to viewers in the United Kingdom.
There have been suggestions that the game could be moved to a neutral venue, amid safety concerns from authorities. However, Joe Anderson, mayor of Liverpool, has said he would be in favour of the fixture taking place at Goodison Park.
Should Man City suffer a defeat against Arsenal, Liverpool have the possibility of clinching the Premier League title with a win against their local rivals.
If not, a win against the Blues would see Jurgen Klopp’s side needing just one more win to seal the title, with Crystal Palace provisionally set to visit Anfield on Wednesday, 24 June at 8.15pm.
Liverpool then face Manchester City on Thursday, 2 July – also at 8.15pm. The game is set for the Etihad Stadium, however, it could still be subject to further change.
