Liverpool will soon face three successive away games in no more than nine days, the last time they were on the road that long it triggered a run of nine defeats in 12.
As a reward for bypassing the two-legged Champions League playoff round over the next fortnight, Arne Slot‘s side get to enjoy two midweeks without a fixture.
But soon after, Liverpool will face a run of three away games on the spin in three different competitions.
This comes after the FA Cup draw on Monday evening saw Liverpool allocated as the away side against Wolves, which will be a repeat of the Premier League fixture from a few days earlier.

The Reds travel to Molineux on Tuesday, March 3, and will now make the same journey later that week in the FA Cup; a Friday or Saturday kickoff is likely, though the date is still to be confirmed.
Slot’s men will then be the away team in the first leg of the Champions League‘s round of 16, having earned a home second leg by finishing third in the league table.
Liverpool’s Away Run: March 2026
Date Opponent Competition
March 3 Wolves (A) Premier League
March 6/7 Wolves (A) FA Cup 5th Round
March 10/11 Juventus, Atletico, Galatasaray or Club Brugge (A) Champions League R16
It means Liverpool will make two trips to Wolves and then will travel to one of Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray or Club Brugge – the four possible opponents from the playoff round – in less than nine days.
Liverpool will only know who they will face in Europe on March 10/11 once the playoff has concluded and the draw is made on Friday, February 27.
It will be only the second time this season that Liverpool have faced three away games in a row, the other triggered the collapse that took the Reds out of contention to retain their league title.
Liverpool’s last run of 3 away games led to 9 defeats in 12

The only other time Liverpool have faced three away games in succession is when they met Crystal Palace, Galatasaray and Chelsea over eight days at the end of September and start of October.
Slot’s men lost all three by a single goal, and twice conceded after 90 minutes to consign themselves to a defeat when a draw was only a matter of moments away.
Liverpool then went on a run of managing just nine defeats from 12 games, which included a loss at home to Man United, Palace, Nottingham Forest and PSV.

There has since been a recovery with 11 wins from the last 19 in all competitions, with Liverpool seemingly better placed to handle the demands their travels will ask of them.
In Wolves, they have an opponent who sits at the bottom of the Premier League table with just nine points from 26 games, and the worst home record in the top division (five points).
In that respect, the league and cup fixtures have been kind, but Slot cannot afford to underestimate any opponent, especially when playing games so closely together.
