Liverpool Fc Fixtures: Merseyside derby moved for TV and a first at Hill Dickinson
The updated schedule for liverpool fc fixtures has produced two notable shifts in April: Liverpool’s home game against Fulham now kicks off at 5. 30pm BST on Saturday April 11, and the Merseyside derby at Hill Dickinson Stadium will take place at 2pm BST on Sunday April 19.
What are the Liverpool Fc Fixtures changes in April?
Two Premier League matches involving Liverpool have been rescheduled for live television coverage. The Anfield meeting with Fulham was moved to a later kick-off time on Saturday, with the fixture set for 5. 30pm BST on April 11. The local derby between Liverpool and Everton has been switched from its original slot to Sunday, April 19, at 2pm BST, with the venue listed as Hill Dickinson Stadium on the waterfront.
Why do these adjustments matter and what else is notable?
The Merseyside derby at Hill Dickinson will be the first time Everton has hosted Liverpool at that new stadium, making the April 19 fixture the 248th meeting between the two clubs. The derby was originally pencilled in for Saturday April 18 before being moved to the Sunday slot. Both rescheduled matches will be broadcast in the UK.
The two clubs have recent encounters that frame these changes. Earlier in the season Liverpool won the Anfield derby 2-1, with Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike scoring the first-half goals; Everton had a reply from Idrissa Gueye. A separate meeting ended 2-2 at Goodison Park under heated circumstances, with dismissals affecting both sides, including Arne Slot and players Curtis Jones and Abdoulaye Doucoure.
The Fulham fixture shifted from an earlier kick-off originally listed at 3pm; the sides previously drew 2-2 at Craven Cottage in January. Other league scheduling notes from the same set of fixtures show Liverpool’s home clash with Crystal Palace remains a 3pm kick-off on Saturday April 25.
Everton’s April schedule includes trips to the capital to face Brentford and West Ham United on Saturday April 11 and Saturday April 25 respectively, with the latter fixture potentially subject to change depending on cup progress for the hosts. These details highlight how television commitments and cup competitions can reshape a short run of fixtures for multiple clubs.
For supporters following liverpool fc fixtures this April, the double change underlines a busy stretch of fixtures and a rare afternoon derby on Sunday at 2pm BST at a new stadium on the waterfront.
Back at the waterfront site where the first Everton-hosted derby at Hill Dickinson will unfold, the rearranged schedule frames the match as both a historic venue debut and a high-profile slot in the league calendar. Supporters and players alike will now prepare for the 248th local meeting under a new timetable, with the Anfield Fulham game set to kick off at 5. 30pm BST a week earlier.
