Liverpool fixture change confirmed as Leeds United clash affected by Champions League draw

Liverpool's home Premier League clash with Leeds United has been brought forward following the recent UEFA Champions League group stage draw.

With the clash originally set to be played on Sunday 30 October, the game will now take place at Anfield a day earlier on Saturday 29 October. The kick-off time is yet to be determined.

With a hectic few days before and after, Jurgen Klopp's side are set to play Ajax in Amsterdam on Wednesday 26 October, before hosting Napoli just three days after the Whites' visit to Merseyside.
