The Premier League fixture list is partly decided by a computerThe new Premier League fixture list for the 2024/25 season has thrown up a familiar quirk in the system with Liverpool’s opening game. It will also mark the start of Arne Slot’s reign as Liverpool manager, with the Dutchman facing the difficult task of filling Jurgen Klopp’s shoes. Facing a newly-promoted side on the opening weekend does carry potential pitfalls but Liverpool will be heavy favourites to get their season underway with a win. In 2021, Norwich returned to the top-flight and were handed a 3-0 defeat by Liverpool at Carrow Road. The Premier League schedule takes almost 18 months to compile but the specifics are handled by the fixture computer following the play-off final.
