Liverpool will get their Premier League 2024-25 campaign underway with a game against Ipswich at Portman Road on Saturday.
The Reds will be eager to take home three points from the first game in the new era under new boss Arne Slot. The team, which fell to third behind champions Manchester City and second-placed Arsenal last season, will be hoping they can be involved in the fight for the title.
Ipswich gained automatic promotion after they finished second behind Leicester City in the Championship, with just one point separating the two teams. They will be hoping to create headlines in the season opener, especially in front of the home crowd.
