Liverpool FC have been given a slice of luck from the Premier League after five of their six games after the Europa League were designated as home fixtures.

And the one away game is against Everton at Goodison Park on the weekend currently scheduled for October 3 – although that, along with the other five fixtures, will be moved.

Premier League regulations say any team in the Europa League must wait at least 48 hours until their next fixture, meaning sides in the Europa League traditionally play on the Sunday – although Monday is also a possibility.

That, in addition to the travelling required, sees Europa League participation as detrimental to a league campaign.

But despite a fixture list which has been regarded as cruel on Liverpool – facing Stoke away on the opening day before visiting teams such as Everton, Manchester United and Arsenal – it has actually been kind to them in terms of the fixtures which follow their Thursday excursions.

Liverpool will enter the competition at the group stage on September 16, and face Norwich the following weekend.

The Merseyside derby follows their second European fixture, before home games with Southampton, Crystal Palace, Swansea and West Brom.
