Liverpool’s Premier League fixtures for August and September have been announced, and fans can now mark their calendars for Arne Slot’s first topflight game at Anfield. The Reds will kick off the 2024/25 season with an away match against Ipswich on August 17 before returning home to face Brentford on August 25.
The Brentford match will be a significant one as it will be Slot’s first official game in charge of Liverpool at Anfield. Fans can catch the action live on Sky Sports in the UK, with kickoff at 4.30pm BST. This fixture will follow a pre-season outing against Sevilla on August 11, giving Slot an opportunity to fine-tune his strategies before the start of the season.
Following the home game against Brentford, Liverpool will make the short trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United on September 1. While the date has been confirmed, the kickoff time is still listed as ‘TBC’ (to be confirmed). This uncertainty is likely due to the need for input from local police, as safety concerns and police requests have led to scheduling changes in previous seasons.
Last season, the Liverpool vs. Manchester United fixture was moved to a 3.30pm slot instead of the usual 4.30pm due to safety concerns and police requests. It is expected that a similar situation may arise this time around, but fans will have to wait for further updates regarding the kickoff time.
Another notable fixture in September is Liverpool’s trip to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers on September 28. This match will kick off at 5.30pm and will also be televised on Sky Sports in the UK. It will be a challenging away game for Liverpool, and fans can expect an intense battle between the two teams.
In addition to these Premier League fixtures, Liverpool will also have other important matches in August and September. They will participate in the UEFA Champions League, with Matchday 1 taking place between September 17-19. The Reds will face Nottingham Forest at home on September 14, Bournemouth at home on September 21, and they will also compete in the Carabao Cup third round on September 24/25.
Overall, Liverpool’s fixtures in August and September promise an exciting start to the season for fans. With new manager Arne Slot at the helm, the Reds will be looking to make their mark and continue their success in both domestic and European competitions. Whether it’s watching the team at Anfield or tuning in on Sky Sports, supporters can look forward to thrilling matches and intense rivalries.
