Liverpool left the City Ground with three vital points thanks to Alexis Mac Allister\u2019s 97th-minute winner. The late goal not only rescued a result on a day where the Reds looked unlikely winners, it also allowed Liverpool to take advantage of Chelsea\u2019s slip-up against Burnley and tighten what is shaping up to be a fierce fight for a top-five finish and Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n
The next five Premier League fixtures for the three clubs read as follows.<\/p>\n
Liverpool: West Ham (H) \u2013 Feb. 28; Wolves (A) \u2013 Mar. 3; Tottenham (H) \u2013 Mar. 15; Brighton (A) \u2013 Mar. 21; Fulham (H) \u2013 Apr. 11.<\/p>\n
Manchester United: Everton (A) \u2013 Feb. 23; Crystal Palace (H) \u2013 Mar. 1; Newcastle (A) \u2013 Mar. 4; Aston Villa (H) \u2013 Mar. 15; Bournemouth (A) \u2013 Mar. 20.<\/p>\n
Chelsea: Arsenal (A) \u2013 Mar. 1; Aston Villa (A) \u2013 Mar. 4; Newcastle (H) \u2013 Mar. 14; Everton (A) \u2013 Mar. 21; Man City (H) \u2013 Apr. 11.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have the immediate chance to build on their late rescue as West Ham and Wolves are the next two opponents. West Ham are fighting to preserve their Premier League status and are undoubtedly improving under Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo, while Wolves also have not performed like one of the competition\u2019s worst-ever teams with Rob Edwards at the helm. Tottenham arrive on Mar. 15 before the Reds travel to Brighton and then host Fulham after the international break.<\/p>\n
Chelsea have dropped points in back-to-back Premier League games at home, against teams that currently sit 15th and 19th. Liam Rosenior\u2019s side will next visit the Premier League leaders, Arsenal, and then face Aston Villa away three days later. They return home to meet Newcastle, travel to Everton on Mar. 21 and host Manchester City to begin their April schedule.<\/p>\n
Manchester United conclude the round on Merseyside as they visit Everton on Monday night. The Red Devils succumbed to a ten-man Toffees in the reverse fixture on what was one of the bleakest nights of R\u00faben Amorim\u2019s dire reign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
