The English Football League has revealed this morning that it is in discussions with Liverpool FC to identify an alternative date given the Club’s participation in the FIFA Club World Cup competition.
The Reds will represent Europe in FIFA’s club World Cup and will kick start their campaign on December 18 with the Carabao last eight-fixture set to be honored also on the 17 and 18 of December. A premier League game with West Ham would be rescheduled due to their involvement in the FIFA tournament in Qatar. This means the Reds will have six midweek fixtures in between November 27 and January 2.
According to Jurgen Klopp after yesterday victory over Arsenal, the fixtures are oppressing for his team and they might call it quit in the Carabao Cup if nothing is done about it.
"It shows the problem we have in the Premier League that no one cares about things like this, so that's how it is.

"The competition is there, we play the game, if we have no time for the next round we cannot change it.
"FIFA tells us we have to go to the Club World Cup, the Premier League tell us we have to play in the Carabao Cup so we try to play it, but if we don't find time it will not happen in our winter break or whatever they give us, because we need that.
"So, I don't care to be honest. It just shows what the problem is. Everybody wants us to play constantly, we've just thought about tonight - we're not thinking about the next round."
He addressed in his post match press conference that the best solution is to h.alt his side from the next round and focus on the rest of the fixtures if nothing is done about the date.
"If they don't find a place for us, an appropriate place, not 3pm on Christmas Day or something, then we don't play. They have to make it. You have to think about these things - if you have a fixture list, where one team cannot be part of all the games, then you have to think about it.
"Hopefully it starts now. I think it's fair that this problem is obvious now. We will not be the victim of this problem. We played tonight, we want to win it, if they don't find a proper date for us, we cannot play the next round and whoever our opponent is will go through, or Arsenal."
