Liverpool will entertain Sunderland at Anfield in their opening fixture of the 2011-12 Barclays Premier League campaign.

The first day clash will give new signing Jordan Henderson an immediate opportunity to come up against his former teammates as the Reds look to kick off the new campaign with a winning start in front of their own supporters.

Liverpool's first away trip takes them to Arsenal the following weekend before a home game with Bolton completes the first month of the campaign.

The derby clashes with Everton are scheduled for October 1 at Goodison Park and February 25 at Anfield while Alex Ferguson will bring his Manchester United side to Merseyside on October 15 with the game at Old Trafford scheduled for February 11.

The fixture list has given Liverpool a home game on Boxing Day against Blackburn and an Anfield clash on New Year's Eve against Newcastle.

Our final home game of the season is against Chelsea before we round off our 2011-12 campaign at newly promoted Swansea City.
