The Merseyside derby against Everton will now take place on on Wednesday, April 20th.

The game against Chelsea will now be on Wednesday, May 11th.

Both are 8pm kick off and both will be shown live on Sky Sports in the UK.

The Everton match will be played three days before their FA Cup semi-final – the Reds face Newcastle at home that same Saturday following the derby.

The Chelsea game will now be Liverpool’s last home game of the season, arriving after the Watford home match but before the final game of the season at West Brom.

That means the Chelsea game will be last match played at Anfield before the new Main Stand takes the stadium’s capacity to around 54,000 for next season.
