Liverpool have had three Premier League fixtures changed in March due to TV coverage, as reported by The Athletic’s James Pearce.
The Reds will now face Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday 7th March, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30 pm (UK).
The Merseyside derby against Everton at Goodison Park has been moved to Monday 16th March, with kick-off set for 8:00 pm (UK).
The final fixture change is the home clash with Crystal Palace, which will now take place on Saturday 21st March, with kick-off set for 5:30 pm (UK), but that could move again if the Reds reach the FA Cup quarter-final.
Jurgen Klopp’s men are 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League and if results go their way, they could clinch the title in one of these moved fixtures.
Some fans were happy with the change, whilst others didn’t seem to be too impressed with the announcement.
