New Everton vs. Liverpool Match Rescheduled – Includes 4 Away Games in 10 Days
Liverpool fans can now mark their calendars for the highly anticipated Merseyside derby against Everton, as a new date has been announced for the clash. In addition to this, two other fixtures involving Liverpool have also been rescheduled, making for a busy month of April for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Originally scheduled for March 17, the Merseyside derby had to be postponed due to Liverpool’s FA Cup quarter-final tie against Manchester United. With limited midweek availability and Liverpool’s potential progress in the Europa League, finding a suitable date was no easy task.
However, the league fixture has now been rearranged and is set to take place on Wednesday, April 24 at 8pm (BST). Fans can catch all the action live on Sky Sports in the UK. This rescheduling means that Liverpool will be playing four away games in a row across all competitions, with the Merseyside derby sandwiched between away trips to Fulham on April 21 and West Ham on April 27.
If Liverpool secure a place in the Europa League semi-finals, the number of consecutive away games could potentially increase to five. This demanding schedule highlights the challenges that Klopp’s side will face as they strive for success on multiple fronts.
April promises to be a hectic month for Liverpool, with a total of eight matches in just 24 days. This averages out to a game every three days, putting the squad’s depth and stamina to the test. The Reds will need to perform at their best in order to maintain their push for both domestic and European glory.
When it comes to their visit to Goodison Park, Klopp will be hoping for a change in fortunes. Despite winning the reverse fixture 2-0, Liverpool has struggled at Goodison Park in recent years, with only two wins in seven visits. As Klopp’s final trip across Stanley Park, he will be eager to leave with a positive result and continue Liverpool’s pursuit of the Premier League title.
In addition to the Merseyside derby, Liverpool’s fixtures against Fulham and West Ham have also been rescheduled. The match against Fulham will now take place on April 21 at 4.30pm (BST), while the clash with West Ham has been moved to a 12.30pm kick-off on April 27, live on TNT Sports.
There is a possibility that the West Ham match could be further rescheduled, depending on Arsenal’s involvement in the Champions League. If Arsenal have a home Champions League semi-final on Tuesday, April 30, the match against West Ham will be moved to Sunday, April 28, with a kick-off time of 2pm. This potential change could work in Liverpool’s favor, giving them an extra day of rest and preparation.
With Arsenal and Manchester City hot on their heels, Liverpool knows that every point is crucial in their quest for the Premier League title. Winning all three of these rescheduled fixtures will be vital if they want to maintain their position at the top of the table.
As the season reaches its climax, Liverpool fans can expect a thrilling and action-packed month of April. With important matches against local rivals Everton, as well as Fulham and West Ham, there will be no shortage of excitement as Klopp’s side battles on multiple fronts. Can Liverpool rise to the challenge and secure their first league title in almost three decades? Only time will tell.
