The fixtures for the upcoming Premier League season were released on Thursday and Liverpool will start their quest to win the Premier League title with an away game against Fulham who secured promotion to the Premier League by winning the English Championship.

In the end, the win over Wolves was not enough to win the Premier League title for Liverpool after Manchester City came from behind to beat Aston Villa 3-2 at home in their own final Premier League game of the season to win a second successive Premier League title.
