Stevie : Good Start Vital

[arcticus]

The fixtures for the new league campaign were released at 9am on Friday morning and confirmed the Reds will begin at home to Sunderland on the weekend of August 13/14 in a match that could see Jordan Henderson make his debut against his former club.

A trip to the Emirates is next up, with Liverpool taking on Arsenal the following weekend.

Gerrard acknowledges it will be a testing opening to the new season, but is confident a good start can build momentum and set the tone for the remainder of the campaign.

The captain told Liverpoolfc.tv: "It is a massive test early on. It's nice to have a home game first, the fans will be right up for it.

"Hopefully we will have a few new signings in and we can start the season with three points which would give us the confidence to then go and get a good result at Arsenal. That is a difficult place to go and we haven't won there for a while.

"It's important to hit the ground running if you want to compete for the title. You can't afford any slip-ups early on.

"It's a tough first two games but I'm really looking forward to them and I think we can get two positive results."

I'd say he is stating the obvious! :)

I'd say a good middle and a good end season could also prove helpful.

I know, that was a bit of a Captain Obvious statement from Captain Marvel :D

But we will go hard in all games :scarf
