Liverpool could face TWENTY ONE days without football over the coming month – with their fate resting in the hands of Claudio Ranieri and Leicester.

With no more cup involvement, the Reds’ fixture list looks barren over the next six weeks, with just five league games scheduled between now and the end of March.

There is also set to be a 16-day gap between Saturday’s home clash with Tottenham and trip to Leicester on February 27.

But after the Foxes’ progression into the FA Cup fifth round following their replay win over Derby County on Wednesday, there is a possibility the Reds’ visit to the King Power Stadium could be postponed.

According to the Premier League, the game is subject to participation in an FA Cup fifth round replay.

Ranieri’s side meet Millwall away on Saturday, February 18, with the Italian expected to make wholesale changes just four days before their Champions League tie with Sevilla.

A draw would see the game taken to a replay which will take place on the week commencing February 27.

If the game is moved back, could lead to a scenario where the Reds’ next game won’t be until Arsenal on March 4.

With their aforementioned European obligations, Leicester would only be able to play the game on the Saturday or Sunday before – though this appears unlikely.

Otherwise, it could be heading for a reschedule in mid-March at the earliest, leaving the three-week gap between Liverpool’s games with Spurs and Arsenal.

The FA Cup could yet create more havoc on the fixture list, with Burnley expected to see off Lincoln City at home in the fifth round.

If that happens, Liverpool’s home game with the Clarets – set for March 12 – will also have to be moved.
