Klopp will be seeking to extend his unbeaten opening-day record after drawing Fulham

Jurgen Klopp has yet to lose any of his previous six season openers and may extend that record after Liverpool were drawn to face Fulham in their opening fixture of the 2022/23 season.

The Liverpool manager has won five matches, and drawn the other in what was a memorable six-goal thriller at Watford in 2017/18.

After twice falling behind at Vicarage Road, Mohamed Salah’s first Premier League goal for the Reds looked to have secured victory for the Reds, only for Miguel Britos to equalise in the third minute of stoppage time.

Before last season, Pep Guardiola had won all five of Manchester City’s first matches of the season, with his side scoring 14 times and conceding only twice.

The reigning champions had not dropped a single point in their maiden fixture of a campaign since a 0-0 draw against Tottenham Hotspur in August 2010.

Those same opponents proved a Matchweek 1 bogey team again last season when City lost 1-0 at Spurs.

Four men will be experiencing opening day as a Premier League manager for the first time.

Steven Gerrard of Aston Villa, Erik ten Hag from Manchester United, Nottingham Forest’s Steve Cooper and Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch are looking to mark their first such match with a win.

Others, however, will be aiming to improve on their record, with Ralph Hassenhuttl, Patrick Vieira, Marco Silva, Scott Parker and Bruno Lage still yet to earn a point on the opening day.
