English Football League Disappointed with UEFA over Fixtures Clash
The EFL said five clubs were affected after UEFA refused to move Liverpool’s Champions League match, forcing changes to two Cup ties.
- On Monday, the EFL announced that two Carabao Cup Round Three ties involving Everton and Liverpool must be rescheduled due to a direct scheduling conflict with a UEFA Champions League match.
- Liverpool and Everton cannot host home fixtures on the same evening due to police constraints; consequently, the EFL was forced to move matches after UEFA scheduled the conflicting Liverpool-Atletico Madrid game.
- The EFL expressed disappointment, labeling UEFA's "unwillingness to co-operate" as "frustrating" and noting that recent UEFA competition expansions occurred "without adequate consultation with domestic leagues."
- Everton's match against Wolverhampton Wanderers is now set for Wednesday, September 16, while the Liverpool versus Tottenham Hotspur tie was brought forward by 24 hours to Tuesday, September 15.
- Additionally, Wolverhampton Wanderers' Championship match against Portsmouth was moved to October 20, and the EFL is implementing new draw conditions to prevent future UEFA Champions League and Europa League scheduling conflicts.
