Arne Slot would have taken Liverpool’s position at the start of the season, but what does the next six fixtures hold for him and
There has never been more depth in the Premier League than this season with even all of the promoted sides intent on staying up and invested in their respective squads accordingly.

Added to the usual suspects, teams like Fulham, Bournemouth, Brighton and Crystal Palace have recruited well and have accomplished managers at the helm with Oliver Glasner proving to be a tough nut to crack for Arne Slot.
Selhurst Park is never an easy place to go, however, the manner of the first defeat of the season was clearly a frustrating one to take. The manager felt his team were “lucky” to be only 1-0 down at half-time with his opposite number claiming that it was the best 45 minutes that Palace have played since he took charge.
Liverpool’s next six Premier League fixtures
The Reds boss wasn’t happy with several players in the phase of play before Eddie Nketiah’s dramatic late goal which gave Liverpool a dose of their own medicine having established themselves as the masters of playing to the final whistle. If Slot had been offered his current position at the start of the season he’d have taken it, but where his team is after the next six games could very well determine the destination of the Premier League title for 2025/26.
If Manchester United had the toughest opening fixtures on paper, Liverpool must have the toughest next six with huge games against Chelsea, Man City, United and Aston Villa on the horizon. What doesn’t help, is that the “easy” games are Nottingham Forest and Brentford, two teams who are capable of beating anyone on their day. Slot will be hoping that Florian Wirtz can start to justify his record price tag and that Alexander Isak is up to full speed as soon as possible too. Up next for Liverpool are…

Arsenal’s next six Premier League fixtures
Arsenal’s defence means that they will be competitive in every game and won’t be gifting teams points, they got lucky to an extent against Newcastle but only Dominik Szoboszlai’s spectacular free-kick separates the two sides at the top of the table. Comparing the next six games, Mikel Arteta will be aiming for 18 out of 18 points if his side are to go one further and not be the bridesmaids once again. Arsenal’s next six Premier League fixtures are as follows…
Oct 4 West Ham United Emirates Stadium 15:00
