Topic: Premier League Fixtures 2023/24

[killer-heels]

Liverpool could be without Mohamed Salah for two key games next season due to the Egyptian forward's African Cup of Nations commitments.

AFCON will run between January 13 and February 11 next year, the heart of the football season.

It means Salah is likely to miss their clash with Bournemouth (January 13) as well as potentially season-defining games against Chelsea (31 January) and Arsenal (February 3).

Wont be much of an issue. Also top four races are hardly going to be settled by 3 games in Jan.

[Barneylfc∗]

At least Mignolet won’t put a goal kick out for a corner this time.

Did he do that too? Karius did it against Sunderland on November 16.

[Barneylfc∗]

The home game with Abu Dhabi on 9th March is after a European week, so if we're still in the Europa that means we'll play on 7th March and the league game will be shifted to 10th. The draw isn't made for this until 23rd Feb and obviously we'd expect to be involved.

The draw for the CL last 16 is 18th December. If they get scheduled to play the 2nd leg on 12th March, what happens with the league game? As far as I remember UEFA don't give a fuck about league schedules.

[diegoLFC7]

Does anyone else not care about half of these fixtures? I mean theres about 30% of these fixtures that are going to have a date change.

[redk84]

Who knows when will be the right time to play teams - need to fall on the right side of that luck this season and if others get a worse roll of the dice then even better.

Aren't Europa League matches sometimes moved to the previous Tuesday or Wednesday?

Edit: From a quick glance, I couldn't find any from last season, but there were a couple of ECL matches that were played on Tuesday and Wednesday.

[ScouserAtHeart]

Good run in for us to be fair. Good that we are playing City at home second time around, not that we will be in a title race.

We won't be in a title race because we'll run away with it like in 19/20

That incoming 100m bid from PSG is looking more tempting by the day!! 

[newterp]

Run-in seems ok

[Brain Potter]

22/23 - away vs Chelsea (requested to be away)
21/22 - away vs Fulham
20/21 - home vs Leeds
19/20 - home vs Norwich
18/19 - home vs West Hame
17/18 - away vs Watford
16/17 - away vs Arsenal (did we request an away this year too for the new Main Stand opening?)
15/16 - home vs Stoke
14/15 - home vs Southampton
13/14 - home vs Stoke

More than we've aways - and bear in mind we requested one of those aways also.

15/16 at Stoke was away. Coutinho 1-0….followed on from the 6-1 hammering the last game of previous season.

[Ocean Red]

Wolves at home last game of the season again, hopefully we can lift the Premier trophy after playing wolves this time round 

[mikey_LFC]

If we reach the final of the FA Cup and the Europa League, I’ve no idea how they’ll fit all the games in.

Are you really spending time thinking about that scenario?

[Crosby Nick]

Did he do that too? Karius did it against Sunderland on November 16.

Very specific!

I thought Karius did it against Leicester on the day the main stand opened. Thinking about it I’m not sure that’s what Migs did but I think he had some kind of howler that he got away with!

The Leicester one was when Lucas gave Vardy the ball to score from about 6 yards

[Solomon Grundy]

Ouch to that first 7,

They don't look that bad. We've had tougher opening fixtures on paper in the past.

[Solomon Grundy]

Shit start to the season with them away games. We could be playing catch up in the league from the off.

Honestly don't think it's that bad a start. Could have been far worse. It's not always that bad a thing to get tricky away games out of the way early doors when everyone is still a bit rusty. It'll all depend on how well we do in the transfer market and how well our pre-season goes. We have the potential to catch a few teams cold.

Season we won no 19, on the back of a long and hard season, in our first 13 games we had Southampton away, never an easy one, Arsenal Home, Burnley away, Chelsea away was our 6th game, Mancs away, Leicester home, Villa away Spurs home and City home, we won 12 of them. These new fixtures don't worry me at all.

[redgriffin73]

The year is 2085. Liverpool have just played their final game of the season at anfield against wolves. They won 2-0 to take their points tally to 107. City got 108.

There's a lot of Saturday 3pm KOs. How does this work when we're playing in Europe on a Thursday?

[Anthony]

Saturday 3pm is the default. Closer to the time changes for TV and European commitments will be made.

Ah right, thanks

[downtown]

the last two times we ended the season with Wolves (H), we had a chance at title on both occasions, granted didn't get a happy ending.

good omen that we may be challenging at least ...

[anfieldpurch]

Anybody got the domestic cup dates?

[lamonti]

If we reach the final of the FA Cup and the Europa League, I’ve no idea how they’ll fit all the games in.

On my Mesut Haaland Dicks list of irritations about football: how English football is programmed by three competing entities (PL, FA, EFL) who make fuck all allowances for each other, let alone UEFA fixtures. Remember when they would always have a set of league fixtures on the week of the European Super Cup?

[Ghost Town]

Anybody got the domestic cup dates?

Indeed I have, for the early rounds anyway, and she's pretty hot stuff. Whether I'll make it to the knock-out stages is another matter





Sorry. 

League Cup Round One - w/c 7 August 2023

League Cup Round Two - w/c 28 August 2023

League Cup Round Three - w/c 25 September 2023

League Cup Round Four - w/c 30 October 2023

League Cup Quarter-Final - w/c 18 December 2023

League Cup Semi-Final (first leg) - w/c 8 January 2024

League Cup Semi-Final (second leg) - w/c 21 January 2024

League Cup Final - Sunday 25 February 2024

FA Cup 3rd round dates will be around January 6 and 4th Round around January 27. The rest are not confirmed yet, I don't think

[ToneLa]

Ouch to that first 7, and ouch to Christmas. 2nd half of the season looks kind enough to me if we have a head of steam.

Seriously? They are easy peasy lemon squeezy

Hell of a lot of 3pm games

[kavah]

City will have a league cup game the day before the club World Cup in Saudi Arabia.

[RedG13]

Hell of a lot of 3pm games

This will change any of the 3pm games after  europa date will be on sunday etc. It going have be changed for tv. TV schedule always comes out slower so TV can max out what games they want to show etc

[shank94]

City will have a league cup game the day before the club World Cup in Saudi Arabia.

Won’t be surprised if they accommodate them and reschedule the league cup game. They have two squads either way so only a strong away draw would put them in trouble.

[lamonti]

City will have a league cup game the day before the club World Cup in Saudi Arabia.

Wow I wonder will the EFL move it for them or make them play games on consecutive days?

[mikey_LFC]

Are you really spending time thinking about that scenario?

I’d like us to have a fair shot at winning every competition and right now, I’m struggling to see how we’re not going to end up in a ridiculous fixture situation like the League Cup Quarter Final against Villa in 2019 if we do well in the cup competitions we are in. Either we will have to play a league cup after the final day, two games in the space of 48 hours or a game on a Friday night post the international break with our fixtures then running Friday, Monday, Thursday, Sunday for that week to start the run in.

[Solomon Grundy]

Season we won no 19, on the back of a long and hard season, in our first 13 games we had Southampton away, never an easy one, Arsenal Home, Burnley away, Chelsea away was our 6th game, Mancs away, Leicester home, Villa away Spurs home and City home, we won 12 of them. These new fixtures don't worry me at all.

The only reason why you may be worried about those opening fixtures is if you don't actually believe we'll be good enough to finish in the top 4 next season.

[ScottScott]

Football isn't for you. Or at the very least you need to have a few weeks off from it. You're one of the most unhappy people I've ever seen and it can't be healthy for you

[Knight]

Wind your neck in mate, you've got no idea about KH's mental state. You go round this forum getting triggered so easily by any semblance of pessimism or negativity it's remarkable. Chill out. And to be clear, why you read that post as being 'unhappy' is ridiculous - was he/she saying that it's not going to happen or just making the point that it's too far away to worry about?

[tubby]

KH is also a massive ham.

[ToneLa]

Ah of course, thanks

Might do an import of this into Google Calendar once TV dates are announced

[rob1966]

Never mind top 4, winning the fucker is in my sights and I believe we can.

[Barneylfc∗]

Very specific!

I thought Karius did it against Leicester on the day the main stand opened. Thinking about it I’m not sure that’s what Migs did but I think he had some kind of howler that he got away with!

That should've said 'in November 16'

I don't know the exact date in November 16, but I was at the game and it blew my mind
