[MdArshad]

Brentford away on our 1st match.

[Scouser-Tommy]

Brentford away on our 1st match.

Only if we can have away fans, otherwise the opposite end of the season.

[Crosby Nick]

Brentford away on our 1st match.

Hope not, I’ll probably be away then and it’s one match I’ll probably be nailed in to get a ticket for.

[amir87]

Hope not, I’ll probably be away then and it’s one match I’ll probably be nailed in to get a ticket for.

Try and get 2 tickets 

[jackh]

Struggled a bit with the match previews last year, didn't we?  Happy to get involved and volunteer to do a couple (I guess this can be discussed in a separate thread) as & when the fixtures are published.

[I've been a good boy]

Always seem to get Arsenal in August so nailed on they'll be one of our first five. Wouldn't mind Brentford on Boxing Day.

[Billy Elliot]

Final                   28 May 2022

Anybody looked up flights to St Petersburg yet? I'll probably get the train myself.

[disgraced cake]

Not arsed who we get first, I just want there to be fans there!

My prediction is Villa away first game

[anfieldpurch]

Would take anybody at home to start with..

Any confirmation of the Carabao dates?

[Crosby Nick]

Try and get 2 tickets 

You’re right, I should really take my son.

[sinnermichael]

No doubt it'll be fixed again and we'll have to play all other 19 teams home and away.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

We are definitely due an away game first up. 17/18 and Watford was the last one I believe?

[I've been a good boy]

Final                   28 May 2022

Anybody looked up flights to St Petersburg yet? I'll probably get the train myself.

Thought it was in Istanbul as it got moved again  due to the restrictions? Hope they do get it and stay with it, been shafted two years in a row.

[4pool]

Nice swan Barney..

[Morgana]

Thought it was in Istanbul as it got moved again  due to the restrictions? Hope they do get it and stay with it, been shafted two years in a row.

They get it in 2023.

[Barneylfc∗]

Would take anybody at home to start with..

Any confirmation of the Carabao dates?

I could only find the 1st round and final so never bothered.
We'll lose in the 3rd round to Arsenal anyway 

[4pool]

Watford Away is my pick for our first match.

[Statto Red]

Brentford away on our 1st match.

No thanks, i hate playing newly promoted teams in the the first few matches of the new season, leave that until November or later.

[rafathegaffa83]

My prediction: Spurs Away

[bird_lfc]

Everton at home please

[kb2x]

With Liverpool set to receive their Premier League fixture list for 2021-22 next week, here's everything you need to know about the release of the new season's schedule.

Fixtures revealed

Liverpool’s 2021-22 Premier League fixtures will be revealed here on Liverpoolfc.com at 9am BST on Wednesday June 16.

Dates and kick-off times of the matches will be subject to change for broadcast purposes.

Key dates

The 2021-22 league season is scheduled to begin on Saturday August 14, while the final round of matches will be played on Sunday May 22, 2022.

The Premier League’s summer transfer window officially opened on Wednesday June 9 and will close at 11pm BST on Tuesday August 31


International breaks are scheduled for the following dates: August 30 to September 8, October 4-13, November 8-16, January 24 to February 2, and March 21-30.

The CAF Africa Cup of Nations is set to be held in January 2022.

Liverpool’s Champions League group-stage matches will be played on September 14/15, September 28/29, October 19/20, November 2/3, November 23/24 and December 7/8.

Promoted teams

Relegated from the Premier League in 2019-20, Norwich City and Watford secured returns back to the top flight at the first opportunity by claiming the Championship’s two automatic promotion spots.

Norwich won the division having lost just seven of their 46 fixtures, while Watford took runners-up spot courtesy of the meanest defence (30 goals conceded).

Joining them in jumping up to the Premier League are Brentford, who beat AFC Bournemouth and then Swansea City in the play-offs to feature at the highest level of English football for the first time since 1946-47.

The Reds’ opening meeting of the season with Brentford will be the teams’ first clash in any competition since Liverpool won an FA Cup quarter-final at Anfield in March 1989.

Norwich, Watford and Brentford replace Fulham, West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United in the top flight.

Opening-day form

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last eight opening-day fixtures since a 3-0 reversal at West Brom on the first day of 2012-13.

Seven of those have been victories for the Reds, including each of the last three: 4-3 against Leeds United last term, 4-1 versus Norwich the previous year, and 4-0 over West Ham United in 2018-19.

[Barneylfc∗]

Last 3 opening games have been at home, so expect an away tie this time. Hopefully someone like Brighton or Watford

[stjohns]

Hope not, I’ll probably be away then and it’s one match I’ll probably be nailed in to get a ticket for.

Nearest prem team to me now. Mate’s a season ticket holder so hopeful. Was at the Bees v LFC in the cup all those years ago. Think Nichol got a hat-trick.

[disgraced cake]

Watford home ta x

[Barneylfc∗]

Don't we usually have some fake leaks by now?

[Black Bull Nova]

Always good to avoid promoted teams, always best to pit against a lower half team at home, especially the slow starters who finished poorly, I'll take Newcastle, Brighton, Burnley or Southampton at home please. The new teams are adrenaline fuelled and have high confidence based on the last seasons (relative) success.

[Medellin]

Will be Arsenal or Newcastle away.

[Jwils21]

City have got Port Vale at home first game

[Fromola]

So there's an international break scheduled as well while the AFCON is on? That at least eases the loss of Mo and Mane a bit, plus we always struggle most around that time of year.

[Scouser-Tommy]

Don't we usually have some fake leaks by now?

Norwich away first, apparently.

[Crosby Nick]

Normally an FA Cup weekend around them too. We got knocked out by Championship Wolves when Manι was last away.

[disgraced cake]

Norwich away first, apparently.

Splendid set of fixtures

United at home on my 40th birthday weekend, although that's possibly an FA Cup weekend too

[tubby]

That's a decent start and spread of nasty fixtures.  December into Jan will be tough.

[No666]

Two days between Leeds and Leicester at Christmas will be tough, then Chelsea away shortly afterwards.

[Ray K]

Splendid set of fixtures

Are we clinching the title at home to Spurs or away at Southampton, I wonder?

Actually, looking at it again it's probably the derby.

[gerrardisgod]

No real horror months there, maybe the Christmas run. We’ll be grand.

[Crosby Nick]

Looks a decent spread. City away in April is big but the final few games look alright.

Nice to have United and Everton away first for a change. Home on Boxing Day is always nice.
