Liverpool’s first THREE kickoffs leaked with Merseyside derby set for June 21

Liverpool will reportedly take on Everton in their first game of the Premier League‘s restart on Sunday, June 21, with both of their first three games being late kickoffs.

The Premier League have finalised the full fixture list for the rest of the 2019/20 campaign, which is set to restart on June 17 with Aston Villa vs. Sheffield United followed Man City vs. Arsenal.

Full dates, times and broadcasters will be confirmed in due course, with the 20 clubs debating various issues at their latest shareholders’ meeting on Thursday.

But for now, the Times‘ Paul Joyce and the Mail‘s Martin Samuel have both reported that Everton vs. Liverpool will be held on Sunday, June 21, kicking off at 7pm.

The game will be made free-to-air on Sky Sports, as one of 33 to be made available to the wider public, with all 92 remaining fixtures set to be shown live on TV.

It remains to be seen whether the derby will be held at Goodison Park, with further safety meetings scheduled before a venue is finalised, but the Premier League have now approved neutral venues ‘in principle’.

There is a possibility that the title could be wrapped up by the end of the first weekend, then, as a City loss in midweek and a Liverpool win would clinch it for Jurgen Klopp‘s side.
