It's the sort of sequence that has already evoked memories of last season's nail-biting Liverpool run-in. Between October 1 and November 12, the Reds will play 13 times and will know a lot more about what is and isn't possible for the remainder of the season when the time comes to clear the domestic calendars until after Christmas.

Eight Premier League games are welded around the four fixtures that will bring up the completion of the Champions League group stages, while Liverpool's defence of the EFL Cup also gets underway on November 8 when Derby County come to Merseyside. There's barely time to draw breath.
