Liverpool fans will have to wait a little bit longer to see their team back in Premier League action following the World Cup break after the latest raft of live televised matches was confirmed.
The Reds will still travel to Aston Villa on Monday, December 26 but the kick-off time has been pushed back until 5.30pm. The game will be broadcast live on Amazon.
The festive visit of Leicester City, which had originally been scheduled for New Year's Eve, has been brought forward to Friday, December 30 with an 8pm kick-off, and will be broadcast on Sky Sports.

And Liverpool's other Premier League match over the Christmas period, at Brentford on Monday, January 2, has been moved to a 5.30pm kick-off. The match will also be shown on Sky.
The Reds have three Premier League games remaining - Saturday evening at home to Leeds United, the following weekend at Tottenham Hotspur and the visit of Southampton on November 12 - before the season shuts down for more than five weeks due to the World Cup finals in Qatar.
While the Premier League game at Villa is at present scheduled to be Liverpool's first game after the tournament, should they beat Derby County at home in their League Cup tie on November 9, they will first play a quarter-final tie on either December 21 or 22.
