A total of three matches have been moved in order to accommodate the Reds' European commitments. The EFL have been forced to move two Carabao Cup ties, including Everton's home clash with Wolves, which will now take place on Wednesday, September 16. Liverpool's own third round tie, a home clash with Tottenham Hotspur, will be played the day before at 8pm.
Wolves' Carabao Cup tie away to Everton has been rescheduled to September 16, while their Championship match against Portsmouth has been pushed back to September 16 and then to Tuesday, October 20. The EFL has expressed frustration at UEFA's unwillingness to cooperate, stating that the League has made changes to accommodate the expansion of UEFA club competitions without adequate consultation with domestic leagues.
