Liverpool ’s fixture against Chelsea will have to be rearranged after Guus Hiddink’s side beat Manchester City in the FA Cup.

Jurgen Klopp ’s side were due to play the champions on Sunday, March 13 but the fixture falls on the weekend of the FA Cup quarter-finals, with Chelsea duo on Merseyside to face Everton.

That will mean another weekend off for the Reds after having been out of action since Thursday after their earlier FA Cup elimination at West Ham United.

The Merseyside Derby still needs to be rearranged because the Reds will be taking on Manchester City in the Capital One Cup final at Wembley on Sunday, a date Everton were scheduled to visit Anfield.

Given their respective European commitments, Chelsea’s trip to Anfield is likely to be played closer to the end of the season.

If Klopp’s side progress in the Europa League on Thursday night that means that they will have back-to-back European ties sandwiched between trips to Crystal Palace and Southampton.
