Liverpool are facing a Christmas fixture pile up this new season.

After winning the Champions League last season - beating Tottenham 2-0 in Madrid - the Reds will now face a trip to Qatar in December for the Club World Cup.

Liverpool will now see their Premier League fixtures rearranged due to an incredible overlap - as their Club World Cup final or third-placed play-off will fall on the same day as a top-flight game against West Ham.

That will of course be changed, meaning the Reds could also face a jam-packed January and February.

Liverpool could play ten matches in just 29 days thanks to their participation in the Middle East, with a New Year's Day match against Sheffield United pencilled in.
