Liverpool had been going toe-to-toe with Manchester City and Arsenal in a gripping Premier League title race in 2023/24.
Jurgen Klopp’s team started March this year at the top of the table but with the reigning champions and the Gunners breathing down their necks. They have also been attempting to juggle FA Cup
and UEFA Europa League
commitments — having already won this season’s Carabao Cup
— while managing a succession of injuries
.
Attempting to navigate a challenging remaining schedule, much of which has come after the March international break, could be a significant obstacle in the Reds’ quest to win a second league title under Klopp before he leaves the club at the end of the season. Ultimately, it proved too much.
The Sporting News has a breakdown of Liverpool’s remaining schedule, plus a points prediction for the games they have coming up, based on this season’s form and the result in the same game in 2022/23.

Predicting matches between two of English football’s fiercest rivals is always tricky. United had a better season than Liverpool in 2022/23, yet they lost a scarcely believable match 7-0 at Anfield. This season, when they were expected to be turned over once more, they became the only team to stop Liverpool scoring at home in 22 games.
And, would you believe it? We got this prediction spot on after an undulating contest at Old Trafford, where Liverpool led and dominated but needed Mohamed Salah’s late penalty to salvage a point. Don’t expect us to nail too many more.
Result last season: Man United 2-1 Liverpool
Prediction this season: Man United 2-2 Liverpool
Final score: Man United 2-2 Liverpool
Not many people saw this coming. Palace, who held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at Anfield last season, went one better this time by claiming a 1-0 victory through Eberechi Eze’s goal. What did we say about nailing predictions?

Prediction this season: Liverpool 4-1 Crystal Palace
Final score: Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace
Fulham held Liverpool to a home draw last August and they remain a tricky opponent on their day, as they showed by beating Manchester United at Old Trafford. On home turf, they could caused the Reds some problems. Thomas Castagne cancelled out Trent Alexander-Arnold’s sumptuous free-kick before a first Premier League striker for Ryan Gravenberch and a Diogo Jota goal saw a much-changed Liverpool power clear.
Result last season: Fulham 2-2 Liverpool
Prediction this season: Fulham 1-1 Liverpool
Final score: Fulham 1-3 Liverpool
The next Merseyside derby was postponed when Liverpool reached the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, which takes place the weekend their trip to Everton was originally scheduled. While these games are always feisty affairs, it felt hard to see anything other than a win for the Reds.

Result last season: Everton 0-0 Liverpool
Prediction this season: Everton 0-3 Liverpool
Final score: Everton 2-0 Liverpool
