• Liverpool are at the Club World Cup from 18-21 December
Liverpool and the English Football League believe the impasse over the fixture congestion surrounding the club’s Carabao Cup quarter-final at Aston Villa can be resolved by moving the tie back to 8 January, though they acknowledge such a switch could have an impact on the FA Cup third round a few days earlier.
Jürgen Klopp suggested after the dramatic win against Arsenal that Liverpool might pull out of the Carabao Cup if a suitable date could not be arranged, because the original scheduling for the quarter-final clashed with Club World Cup commitments in Qatar between 18-21 December.
