When do Liverpool play their game in hand? Many fans have asked after Sunday’s 7-0 win resurrected hopes of Champions League qualification.
The Reds looked down and out after a dismal start to the Premier League campaign, although a run of four wins and a draw from their last five outings has breathed new life into their top four hopes.
As things stand, Jürgen Klopp’s side sit fifth, just three points off Tottenham in fourth with a game in hand.
So, when do Liverpool play their game in hand? Let’s take a look…
When do Liverpool play their game in hand?
Well, Liverpool fans will feel quietly confident about this one.
The Reds play their game in hand on Tuesday 4th April when Klopp takes his side to Stamford Bridge, where they will face an out of sorts Chelsea team who are struggling under Graham Potter.
Liverpool were originally scheduled to play Chelsea on Sunday 16th September in west London.
However, that game was postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II – as Chelsea announced on their official website at the time.
The match will kick off at 8pm GMT.
While some Liverpool fans may have preferred a smaller side as their game in hand, they have every reason to be confident about taking three points from Chelsea.
The Blues currently sit tenth in the Premier League following a dismal run of form, which has seen Potter win just six of his 19 Premier League games in charge since replacing Thomas Tuchel.
Having said that, Liverpool will still need to be at their best if they are to take full advantage of their game in hand.
Chelsea boast some dangerous forwards such as Joao Felix and Raheem Sterling, while the likes of Reece James and Ben Chilwell can cause havoc from the wing-back positions.
Whatever happens, it has been a remarkable turnaround from Liverpool to even put themselves back in contention for a place in the top four – Klopp will surely be proud of his players.
