Liverpool face big tests after Champions League fixtures
The Premier League have welcomed Liverpool’s new head coach Arne Slot to England with the man he’s replacings favourite fixture time as Liverpool face newly promoted Ipswich at 12:30pm on the opening weekend.
Slot will have little time to settle into his new surroundings before he faces one his new team’s fiercest rivals, Manchester United, in his third league game in charge. He has to wait for December for his first Merseyside derby against Everton and the final one at Goodison Park.
It is not too difficult of a start for the Dutchman and his team although the fixtures following Champions League matches are not as kind with Arsenal and Manchester City two of the matches coming after European midweek games.
Across the schedule, Liverpool’s fixtures look fairly well balanced. If they have title aspirations the stretch of Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal at the end of April and start of May could be a hugely defining moment in any bid to compete with Manchester City.
Key dates for the 2024-25 season
The transfer window officially opened on Friday, June 14, with the infamous cut-off date for the 2023-24 profit and sustainability rules (PSR) reporting period coming at the end of the month on June 30. The window closes on Friday, August 30, at 11pm BST (6pm ET).
The winter transfer window will open on Wednesday, January 1, closing on Monday, February 3.
The new Premier League season gets underway on the weekend of August 16-18, a week after the Community Shield. That game will be another Manchester derby and a replay of last season’s FA Cup final.
The Premier League season finishes on Sunday, May 25, when all 10 fixtures will be played at the same time.
Premier League clubs will enter the FA Cup at the third round, which begins on Saturday, January 11. The Carabao Cup will begin in mid-August with Premier League teams not playing in Europe entering in the second round and the remaining seven clubs receiving a bye to the third round.
The newly-expanded Champions League, meanwhile, begins on September 17. The Europa League starts on September 25 and the Conference League gets underway on October 3.
What about the Champions League?
Liverpool qualified for the Champions League by finishing third last season.
This is the first year of the expanded Champions League, with 36 teams taking place in the group stage proper. Instead of being placed into groups of four, each team will play eight seeded matches and the top eight of the 36 will qualify directly for the knockouts, with the ninth-16th-placed clubs contesting a play-off round.
