A Liverpool fan has claimed the Premier League is rigged against the Reds, using next season's fixtures as proof.

In an extraordinary rant on talkSPORT, the supporter argued that Liverpool's final three games are significantly tougher than Manchester City's, handing the champions a 'massive advantage'.

Liverpool face Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle in their last trio of fixtures, while City play Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich.

"The whole thing is rigged against Liverpool before a ball has even been kicked," Dan, the Reds fan, told the Sports Bar.

"They've given us Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle in our last three fixtures. Man City have got Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich.

"Why don't they just give City the title?

"This is a massive advantage to City because they know, in those last three games, they're going to be under a lot less pressure than Liverpool.

"It's just disgusting. It feels to me like everyone in this country doesn't want Liverpool to win the Premier League.

"I think City are definitely going to get more than 90 points this year, and for us to do what we did last year is going to require another monumental effort.

"The last run of games is the most important. If City fall behind, they can always say, 'Liverpool have those last three games and look at our last three, we can keep going'.

"We've got to get seven points clear before these last three games - because I've got a horrible feeling about them."

And Dan wasn't about to stop there.

He went on to question why everyone dislikes Liverpool so much and argued that, instead, the club should be universally admired.

Ironically, he became the answer his own question.

"I just don't understand why everyone doesn't love us. We're the greatest team this country has ever seen," he added.

"We've conquered all of Europe, we've outgrown the Premier League. We would conquer England if it wasn't rigged.

"It feels like everyone's against us when everyone should love us. We're doing things no other team is doing.

"Chelsea and Manchester City are like the Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton of football.

"Chelsea fans were celebrating when we didn't win the league. I don't understand.

"You can see the genuine joy in Evertonians' faces, they were laughing at me when we didn't win the league. They're so bitter."
