Liverpool play four games in just 11 days as October turns to November and the date and fixtures for their trip to Bournemouth have now been confirmed.
With the Reds fighting on four fronts again this season, Jurgen Klopp and his players have a busy schedule.
This makes relegation to the Europa League even more difficult as Champions League games are played on Thursday nights instead of Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
This usually means a two- or three-day rotation between the Europa League and Premier League, with the FA Cup and League Cup also interspersed.
Victory over Leicester in the third round of the League Cup set the stage for an away meeting with Bournemouth in the fourth round. It has now been confirmed that the draw will take place on Wednesday 1st November, kick-off at 19.45.
4 games in 11 days
Toulouse (H) – Europa League – October 26, 8 p.m
Nottingham Forest (H) – Premier League – 29 October 14:00
Bournemouth (A) – League Cup – 1 November 19.45
Luton (A) – Premier League – 5 November 16.30
It will take place in four games in 11 days, starting with the visit of Toulouse in the Europa League on Thursday, October 26.
Nottingham Forest then visit Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday 29 October, followed by Bournemouth and then a trip to Luton on Sunday 5 November.
Next week, two more games will be played before the third team break of the season – Toulouse away and Brentford at home.
Klopp’s squad will undoubtedly be stretched this term, especially as injuries start to pile up, despite having more strength this campaign. The manager has already shown his willingness – or need – to rotate between competitions, with a total of 29 changes to his last three starting lines.
