With our contest against Leeds moved to the Monday, it means an even longer wait throughout another round of games, with West Ham United's match against Wolverhampton Wanderers the opener on Friday 10 April.
Hence, our next weekend outing is not until Saturday 18 April, when we play at Chelsea in a 20:00 BST kick-off. By then, it will very much feel like the business end to the season.
At least, we have a fine recent record when it comes to heading into international breaks.
Opta have reported that the Reds are unbeaten in our last six Premier League games ahead of them, winning four and drawing twice. Our most recent loss before one came in September 2024, when we suffered a 3-0 home reverse to Liverpool.
With a lengthy pause on the horizon, let's all hope Michael Carrick's men can give us a winning send-off on the south coast.
