As October transitions into November, Liverpool will play four games in only 11 days. The date and kickoff time of their trip to Bournemouth are now known.
The Reds are once again involved in four battles this season, so Jurgen Klopp and his players will have a busy schedule.
Due to the Europa League’s Thursday night games instead of the Champions League’s Tuesday or Wednesday, this is made much more challenging.
The turnaround time between the Europa League and the Premier League is normally two to three days, with the FA Cup and League Cup taking place at various times as well.
After defeating Leicester in the League Cup’s third round, a road match against Bournemouth awaited in the fourth round.
The match will now take place on Wednesday, November 1, with a 7.45 p.m. start time.
4 games in 11 days
- Toulouse (H) – Europa League – October 26, 8pm
- Nottingham Forest (H) – Premier League – October 29, 2pm
- Bournemouth (A) – League Cup – November 1, 7.45pm
- Luton (A) – Premier League – November 5, 4.30pm
This is part of a stretch of four games in 11 days that begins on Thursday, October 26 with Toulouse’s visit in the Europa League.
On Sunday, October 29, Nottingham Forest will play host to Liverpool in the Premier League. Bournemouth will follow, and on Sunday, November 5, Luton will host Nottingham Forest.
Before the third international break of the year, there are two more matches the following week: Toulouse on the road and Brentford at home.
Klopp’s team will definitely be overworked during that time, especially if injuries start to mount, despite the fact that this season’s lineup has more depth.
With a total of 29 changes made to his past three starting lineups, the manager has already demonstrated his ability – or necessity – to switch up his teams between matches.
