Liverpool will have four home games after their Champions League group stage clashes next season.
But one of them is Manchester City, and so will they face a difficult trip to Old Trafford.
The scheduling of national matches after the European qualifiers has been a topic that has reportedly infuriated José Mourinho and others in recent campaigns.
Particularly when it comes to Liverpool.
In 2018/19, the Reds had six home games after their six group stage games.
For the following campaign, it was five home games.
But last season, it was an equal division of three locals and three visitors.
This time around, the Reds have four games at Anfield, plus trips to Manchester United and West Ham.
14/15 September 2021: Matchday 1
28/29 September 2021: Matchday 2
October 19/20, 2021: Matchday 3
November 2/3, 2021: Matchday 4
23/24 November 2021: Matchday 5
December 7/8, 2021: Matchday 6
Here’s how Liverpool matches fall on both sides of those games:
September 11: Leeds United (A)
September 14/15: CL’s game
September 18 – Crystal Palace (H)
September 25 – Brentford (A)
September 28/29 – CL game
October 2 – ManchesterCity (H)
October 16 – Watford (A)
October 19/20 – CL match
October 23 – Manchester United (A)
October 30 – Brighton (H)
November 2/3 – CL Game
November 6 – West Ham (A)
November 20 – Arsenal (H)
23/24 November – CL game
November 27 – Southampton (H)
December 4 – Wolves (A)
December 7/8 – CL game
Dec 11: Aston Villa (H)
However, in terms of the city, they are possibly a bit tougher than the Reds.
Guardiola’s men have three houses and three later. The summary ends.
