Liverpool face nightmare week of fixtures with pile-up set to get even worse

Liverpool’s FA Cup defence might have come to a premature end away at Brighton last month, but their fixture congestion could be about to get even worse despite their early exit from the competition.

The Reds currently boast two games in hand after their home clash with Wolves and trip to Chelsea were both postponed last September following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

With Liverpool eliminated from the FA Cup, it has already been confirmed that they will now host Wolves on Wednesday 1 March. The midweek slot had been put aside for the fifth round of the domestic cup competition, but with the Reds knocking out the West Midlands outfit in the third round, both are free to play their postponed fixture on that date.
