Liverpool's title defence gets off to a tricky start in September, welcoming what is sure to be a fired-up Leeds United side to Anfield in their opening game before back-to-back matches against Chelsea and Arsenal.
The Reds also have an away Merseyside derby in their fifth outing, while the first showdown with expected title rivals Manchester City comes at the Etihad Stadium on November 7.
The champions do not play bitter rivals Manchester United until January 16, with the reverse fixture at the start of May, while February could be an important month with Man City, Leicester City and Everton in succession.
It does look like a relatively kind finish to the season, though, with Southampton, West Bromwich Albion, Burnley and Crystal Palace as their final four games.
