Liverpool face fixture crunch in Premier League title bid
Title-chasing Liverpool will play two Premier League games in the final week of the campaign after their match against Southampton was rescheduled due to their participation in the FA Cup final.
Jurgen Klopp's men will travel to the south coast for their penultimate fixture of the league season on Tuesday, May 17, three days after their date at Wembley with Chelsea.
Quadruple-chasing Liverpool, who already have the League Cup in their trophy cabinet, are going head to head with reigning champions Manchester City for the title.
They are one point behind Pep Guardiola's City with five games remaining for both teams.
City's trip to Wolves, which was postponed due to their FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool, has been scheduled for May 11.
Guardiola's men face a tough trip to West Ham on May 15 and conclude their season a week later at home to Aston Villa, while Liverpool host Wolves on the final day.
Liverpool and City could also meet in the final of the Champions League if both win their semi-final ties.
