Manchester City vs Liverpool fixture likely to be moved to a midweek

Liverpool's Premier League fixture with Manchester City likely to be moved to midweek, but it could still see the Reds secure the title. The English top-flight season set to resume on June 17 amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis. Liverpool are 25 points clear of second-placed City at the top of the table, and six points away from becoming champions for the first time in 30 years. Jurgen Klopp's side will face neighbours Everton in their first match back on the weekend of June 20. And If Pep Guardiola's City lose to Arsenal in their first game back on June 17, then Liverpool would win the league at Goodison Park with a Merseyside derby victory on June 20 or 21. But even if the trophy isn't secured there, the Reds will be confident of winning it sooner rather than later. With the fixtures set to follow the order in which they were initially supposed to be played, Klopp's side are then due to face Crystal Palace at home, with that match looking likely to fall in a midweek slot in the week beginning June 22. The original fixture list then had the Red to face Manchester City away next up, but they will be in FA Cup quarter-final action at Newcastle on the weekend of June 27. Therefore, the league fixtures for that weekend will then almost certainly be shifted to the midweek following. Source: The Mirror
