Brendan Rodgers faces a return trip to the Brittania Stadium to face Stoke City on the opening day of the Premier League season, just months after a humiliating 6-1 defeat that many thought would cost him his job.
The Ulsterman retained his place in the dugout following a season review with FSG and will look to exert revenge in early August when he and his team return to the scene of the embarrassment.
The Reds will face newly promoted Bournemouth in their first home game a week later. Liverpool have beaten the Cherries away from home in each of the last two seasons in cup competitions.
The two Merseyside Derbies are scheduled for the 3rd October at Goodison Park and the 27th of February at Anfield.
Last season, Liverpool were denied an important win over the Toffees at Anfield by a late Phil Jagielka strike at the Kop end.
It was the woodwork that denied the Reds in the return fixture, as Jordon Ibe rattled the post.
Liverpool finish the season with a trip to face West Bromwich Albion away.
