Premier League 2018-19: 5 fixtures that could shape Liverpool's season

#5 Liverpool vs Chelsea (13 April)

Liverpool vs Chelsea

This game in mid-April is Liverpool's last game against any of the big six in the Premier League. It is important that the Reds score a win for many significant reasons. For Liverpool to mount a title challenge, they must make Anfield a fortress.

The Reds have done a good job at that in 2017-18, as they became the only Premier League side to remain unbeaten at home in the league. They must continue this in the following season. A late-season home win against a possible challenger is welcome for any high-aspiring side.

This could give Liverpool a good dose of momentum heading into the final stretch of the league season. A good end to the season is always helpful for any team, no matter what place they are aiming for. For Liverpool, it is crucial. They face smaller teams in their final four games and a positive result against Chelsea at Anfield would put them in a strong position to end the season strongly.

This looks to be a promising season for Jurgen Klopp's men as they are building towards becoming a more and more complete squad. The Premier League title now seems like an attainable goal for this bunch and they must win the crucial fixtures and stay consistent throughout the season. Optimism has never been this high at Anfield!
