After 17 days without a first team game, Liverpool are thrown straight in at the deep end with a hectic October that will see them play nine games in the space of four weeks.
The Reds’ Anfield meeting with Brighton marks the start of 13 games in the space of six weeks, before their campaign comes to a halt for the World Cup.
October will also bring up Jurgen Klopp‘s seven year anniversary as Liverpool manager.
There are five games for the women’s and under-21’s teams this month, as well as eight for the under-18’s, including three UEFA Youth League ties.
As months go, Liverpool’s October couldn’t be any busier.
Here are the key dates to note down in your diary this month, including first team, women’s and academy fixtures.
The first day of the month sees the Reds return to action with a home clash against Brighton.
It will be the first game Liverpool have played in 17 days, but Brighton have gone 27 days without a match, following the postponement of their games at Bournemouth and at home to Crystal Palace.
This game marks the start of a new era for the Seagulls, with Roberto Di Zerbi taking charge of his first match as manager, following Graham Potter’s move to Chelsea.
