February 24 – Manchester United vs LiverpoolOn the same day as City take on Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final, Liverpool make the trip to Manchester United.The Reds beat their old rivals 3-1 in December, a game that saw the end of Jose Mourinhos reign at Old Trafford.United are a different beast under Old Gunnar Solskjaer now and will be determined to win for revenge purposes and for their top-four hopes.March 3 – Everton vs LiverpoolA Merseyside derby can throw up any host of storylines but the Reds have held the upper hand in the fixture in recent years.The Toffees havent beat their neighbours since October 2010 and lost 1-0 at Anfield earlier this season.While Everton looked destined for a mid-table finish this term, a derby will always give them extra motivation.4

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah

March 31 – Liverpool vs TottenhamSpurs are not out of the title race yet but many believe their ongoing injury woes and lack of real depth will see them miss out.But this fixture should see Harry Kane and Dele Alli return and the north Londoners will be eager to leave Anfield with the points.Liverpool were superb in their 2-1 win at Wembley back in September and will have fond memories of that result.April 13 – Liverpool vs ChelseaLiverpools title hopes in 2014 famously went up in flames when Steven Gerrards slip saw Chelsea win 2-0 at Anfield, a result that ultimately saw City win the crown.There will no doubt be plenty of reminders about that fateful day in the build-up to this seasons key April fixture.The two sides drew 1-1 at Stamford Bridge in September and Klopp would likely take another point against their bogey team.Final day – Liverpool vs WolvesThe Reds host Wolves in their final Premier League fixture.Should the title race still be undecided, the Anfield atmosphere will be electric on an early summers afternoon.Wolves have been superb this season and are in no danger of relegation meaning this could be the perfect fixture for Liverpool.4

Man City star Raheem Sterling

April 20 – Manchester City vs TottenhamIt remains to be seen where Spurs will be come the end of the April but facing the north Londoners is always tough.City scrapped to victory at Wembley in October and will likely need another win to keep their title hopes alive.Liverpool take on Cardiff, who could well be relegated by then, on the same day.Final day – Brighton vs Manchester CityA final day away trip to the south coast awaits City this season.The Seagulls have been poor recently and could yet get sucked into the relegation battle.City will hope that isnt the case and will face a side with nothing must to play for if the title race is still on.
