Liverpool will be playing catch-up to many of the Premier League when they are next in action having had two games postponed due to the death of the Queen.
All Premier League fixtures were postponed as a mark of respect for the Queen last weekend, but Liverpool have since had their away match at Chelsea, which was scheduled for Sunday, also called off as a result of the funeral taking place on Monday in London.
With the international break taking place next week, Liverpool will not be back in Premier League action until Saturday, October 1 when they host Brighton and Hove Albion.

Premier League action is back this weekend, but Liverpool have been given an extended break due to the Queen's funeral forcing the away clash with Chelsea to be postponed on Sunday.
Liverpool put in a much better performance on Tuesday when they beat Ajax 2-1 at Anfield in the Champions League and may have been looking to build some momentum when taking on Graham Potter's side.
However, the postponement may have done Jurgen Klopp a favour as it gives his players a chance to rest and recuperate ahead of a tough set of fixtures throughout October.
The Reds will take on Premier League leaders Arsenal away and host champions Manchester City in October. Two fiery encounters with Rangers also await Liverpool.
