Following that, Liverpool will have two matches in the traditional Saturday 3pm (UK time) slot. Against Nottingham Forest and then Bournemouth, the Reds will not be shown on television in the UK as a result.

The match away at Wolves on Saturday, September 28 will be a 5.30pm kick-off in the UK. Aside from the visit to Ipswich, in the UK, the games that have been moved will be on Sky Sports. The opening fixture will be on TNT Sports.

Liverpool.com says: There are no major surprises there. Having two 3pm Saturday games in a row doesn't occur often for Liverpool but that will happen in the middle of September just after the first dreaded international break.
