After the thrilling victory against Fulham, Liverpool has a genuine chance to gain position in a potential Premier League title fight over the coming weeks.
Liverpool next four fixtures compared to Arsenal & Man City after Fulham drama gives big opportunity.
Liverpool overcame Fulham late in the game, but Trent Alexander-Arnold once again came through with a spectacular winner to give his team a 4-3 triumph at Anfield.
For Liverpool, this marked the beginning of an extremely significant run. It will have played twice more in a week, at Crystal Palace and Sheffield United. The match, which takes place on Wednesday night and again in the early kickoff on Saturday, will serve as a major litmus test for Jürgen Klopp’s squad depth.
With a Europa League dead rubber match against Union SG in between, the upcoming week’s schedule is even more packed. The Premier League matches between Manchester United and Arsenal and the Carabao Cup quarterfinal matchup between West Ham United will all take place at Anfield.
Liverpool will have a clear idea of how its season is progressing by the start of next year. In a perfect world, they would be leading the Premier League and deep into the semifinals of their home cup. And that is really realistic given the fixtures it has.
The following five Liverpool Premier League games are against Burnley (A), Manchester United (H), Arsenal (H), Sheffield United (A), and Crystal Palace (A).
Naturally, the remaining clubs’ schedules will also be taken into consideration. After its upcoming encounter against Spurs, Manchester City won’t have many more games before heading to the FIFA Club World Cup. Liverpool has the chance to advance as Pep Guardiola’s team concentrates on winning that competition and the league matches that lie ahead.
After Spurs at home tonight, Manchester City’s next five Premier League games are: Aston Villa (A), Luton (A), Crystal Palace (H), and then their Brentford game is postponed due to their involvement in the Club World Cup. On December 27, it travels to Goodison Park to play Everton in league action again.
Additionally, one should not overlook Arsenal under Mikel Arteta. However, the league leader’s next few games appear to be more difficult. It won’t be easy traveling to Luton in the middle of the week, and West Ham, Aston Villa, Brighton, and Liverpool should all consider their matches against the Emirates team as winnable.
The Premier League matches Arsenal will play next are against Luton (A), Aston Villa (A), Brighton (H), Liverpool (A), and West Ham (H).
Naturally, Liverpool’s only option is to keep concentrating on itself. However, if it can maintain its winning streak, Klopp’s team has a genuine chance to advance this month and solidify its position in the Premier League championship fight.
