The 2016–17 season is Liverpool's 125th season in existence, and their 54th consecutive season in the top flight of English football. It is also the club's 25th consecutive season in the Premier League.[1] Along with the Premier League, the club will also compete in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup. The season covers the period from 13 August 2016 to 21 May 2017

Season review[edit]

Pre-season[edit]

Liverpool began their pre-season on 8 July away at Tranmere Rovers. Danny Ings scored the only goal in a 1–0 win.[2] Five days later, the Reds travelled to the Highbury Stadium to face League One side Fleetwood Town. New signing Marko Grujić scored the opening goal on his debut, followed by a goal apiece by Lucas Leiva and 16-year-old debutant Ben Woodburn before two goals by Roberto Firmino rounded out the 5–0 win.[3] Liverpool won their third successive pre-season game on 17 July, with Ings and Woodburn scoring in a 2–0 win over Wigan.[4] On 20 July Liverpool defeated Huddersfield Town 2–0 through goals from Alberto Moreno and Grujić; reserve goalkeeper Shamal George also featured in the last 25 mins of the match as a striker.[5]

Liverpool began their campaign in the International Champions Cup on 28 July, conceding a 0-1 defeat against Chelsea.[6] On 30 July Liverpool defeated A.C. Milan 2–0 with goals from Divock Origi and Firmino.[7] Liverpool then played the final pre-season match in the U.S. against Roma, suffering a 2–1 defeat.[8] On 6 August Liverpool played Barcelona at the Wembley Stadium in the final game of the International Champions Cup and won 4–0, with summer signing Sadio Mané getting on the scoresheet along with Origi and Grujić, and former Liverpool player Javier Mascherano scoring an own goal.[9] Liverpool's pre-season ended the following day, with a 4-0 defeat at Mainz's Opel Arena.[10]

August[edit]

Liverpool began the season with a visit to the Emirates Stadium on 14 August to face off with Arsenal. Arsenal were leading through a Theo Walcott strike within 20 minutes, but a magnificent free kick by Philippe Coutinho drew the score line level just before the break. The Reds continued the momentum into the second half, and were 4–1 up after 63 minutes through strikes from Adam Lallana, Coutinho and Mané. Two quickfire goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Calum Chambers in response caused a nervy end to the game, but the Reds were able to see out the 4–3 victory.[11] Liverpool played their second league match away at Burnley on 20 August. Liverpool dominated possession throughout, but were unable to recover from calamitous defending in the first half and suffered a 2–0 defeat.[12] On 23 August Liverpool began their quest for the EFL Cup in a game against Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium. A brace from Daniel Sturridge, an own goal from Tom Naylor and a goal apiece from Firmino and Origi saw a 5–0 win and progression to the next round of the competition.[13] On 27 August, Liverpool played away to Tottenham in the league. A James Milner penalty had the Reds 1–0 up at half-time, but a Danny Rose equaliser in the 72nd minute caused the game to end in a 1–1 draw.[14]

September[edit]

On 10 September, after the international break, Liverpool hosted defending champions Leicester City at Anfield. Liverpool were 2–0 up within 30 minutes through goals from Firmino and Mané, but a fumbling of the ball at the back by Lucas allowed Jamie Vardy to narrow the lead before the break. A goal by Lallana in the 56th minute restored the two-goal lead however, and Firmino's second goal of the game in the closing stages saw out a 4–1 win. The game was played in front of Anfield's largest crowd since 1977, with a 54,000 sell-out in the newly expanded stadium.[15] Liverpool then played away at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea on 16 September, winning 2–1. Dejan Lovren's close range finish in the 17th minute and skipper Jordan Henderson's spectacular 25-yard strike in the 36th were enough to secure the 3 points.[16] Liverpool played against Derby at the iPro in the third round of the EFL cup on 20 September. They defeated the Rams 3–0 with Ragnar Klavan scoring his first goal for the club, and Coutinho and Origi getting on the scoresheet.[17] On 24 September Liverpool made it three wins in a row in the league when they bested Hull City 5–1 at Anfield through strikes from Lallana, Mané, Coutinho and two converted penalties by Milner.[18]

October[edit]

On 1 October Liverpool defeated Swansea City 2–1 at the Liberty Stadium. A poor first half saw the Reds down at the break but a vast improvement in the second half with goals coming from Firmino and Milner was enough to secure the 3 points.[19] Liverpool faced Manchester United at Anfield on 17 October. The North-West derby was largely forgettable and ended in a 0–0 draw, with Liverpool securing their first clean sheet in the league of the season.[20] Liverpool then hosted West Brom at Anfield on 22 October, winning 2–1. The Reds controlled the game, and were 2-0 up at half-time through goals from Mané and Coutinho, but a late Gareth McAuley strike narrowed the scoreline to 2-1.[21] On 25 October Liverpool played against Tottenham at Anfield in the fourth round of the EFL cup. The Reds won the match 2–1, with a brace from Sturridge seeing them through to the quarter finals of the competition.[22] Liverpool saw out October with a match against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on the 29th. Emre Can, Lovren, Joël Matip and Firmino scored for the Reds in the thrilling encounter which ended 4–2.[23]

November[edit]

Liverpool faced Watford at Anfield on 6 November. The Reds defeated the Hornets 6–1 with Mané bagging a brace, Coutinho, Can and Firmino getting on the scoresheet and Georginio Wijnaldum scoring his first goal for the club. This result put Liverpool top of the Premier League for the first time since May 2014.[24] Following the international break, Liverpool faced Southampton away at St Mary's Stadium on 19 November. The Reds controlled the game but were unable to break down the Southampton defence and the game ended 0–0.[25] On 26 November Liverpool hosted Sunderland at Anfield. Origi made the breakthrough for the Reds in the 75th minute and Milner converted a penalty in the closing stages of the game to see out a 2–0 victory. Ben Woodburn made his debut for Liverpool when he came on as a substitute for Wijnaldum in the 92nd minute.[26] Three days later, on 29 November, Liverpool hosted Leeds United at Anfield in the fifth round of the EFL cup. Origi opened the scoring in the 76th minute and Woodburn's volley in the box in the 81st saw out a 2–0 victory and progression to the semi-finals of the competition.[27] Woodburn's goal at the age of 17 years and 45 days old made him Liverpool's youngest ever goalscorer, beating Michael Owen's record by 99 days.[28][29]

December[edit]

Liverpool faced Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on 4 December. Mané and Origi scored one apiece in the first half and Can scored another in the second half to see the Reds to a 3–1 lead, but three goals from Bournemouth in the final 20 minutes of the match caused Liverpool to suffer a 3–4 defeat.[30] Liverpool then faced West Ham United at Anfield on 11 December, drawing 2–2.[31] On 14 December Liverpool travelled to the Riverside Stadium to face Middlesbrough. Lallana bagged a brace and created another for Origi to see the Reds to a 3–0 victory.In the Merseyside derby Mane scored the winning and only goal the 94th minute.Liverpool then faced Stoke City.Stoke rapidly opened the score at the 12th minute but an equaliser from Lallana and a goal from Firmino made the Reds already leading at halftime,in the second half an own goal and a goal from Sturridge made the Reds win 4-1.On 31 December Liverpool hosted Manchester City with the Reds winning 1-0 thanks to a header of Wijnaldum in the 8th minute.
