Three Liverpool fixtures in October have been moved for television purposes, with new dates and/or times issued for the clashes against Chelsea, Manchester United and Brentford.
Liverpool will still travel to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea on Saturday, October 4, but this game will kick-off in the later slot. It will be a 5.30pm kick-off in the UK (12.30pm ET).
The game with Manchester United at Anfield will be at 4.30pm (11.30am ET) on Sunday, October 19. And finally, the match with Brentford will be at 12.30pm (7.30am ET) on Saturday, October 25, though that could move again depending on the Champions League schedule, which is yet to be determined.
Before those three games, Liverpool will face Newcastle United, Arsenal, Burnley, Everton and Crystal Palace. The draw for the Champions League group phase will take place at the end of the month.
If Liverpool is scheduled by UEFA to play on Wednesday 22nd in the Champions League, the game with Brentford will not be in the early kick-off slot the following weekend. This is so that there is enough time for teams to recover and travel between fixtures.
Liverpool has three points on the board at this stage having beaten Bournemouth on the opening day of the new season. Hugo Ekitike, Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa and Mohamed Salah were all on the scoresheet.

Speaking about Chiesa's late goal which put Liverpool in front in the game, Arne Slot was delighted with the Italian's impact after he sent him in from the bench.
"After the fans sung for him so many times during the game already and last season as well, I think it is very nice for him to give them something in return — and that's definitely what he did today," Slot said in his post-match press conference.
"[It was] an unbelievable atmosphere in the final minutes. I thought winning the league here would always be more special than winning a home game against Bournemouth, but the last six or seven minutes... wow. Wow, wow, wow. How impressive that was!

"Great game, three teams involved in a great game. You'll ask me why three. Of course, Bournemouth and us playing full gas for 96 minutes or even longer, 99 I think, and the referee that just kept the game going and didn't blow his whistle every single time for every small thing.
"I think it was a great game to watch. In the end we won it, so that helps for my emotions, but I think this is what you would like to see.
"I have said many times last season about our Paris Saint-Germain game and we can't compare a last-16 game with a first game of football [of the season] in the Premier League in terms of importance, but it was similar.
"Both teams, all in, high intensity, never gave up both teams and then get a game like this, with a good referee by the way."
