What happened. Everton's Carabao Cup third-round match against Wolves has been moved from 9 September to 16 September, just nine days before it was due to be played.

The move was forced because Liverpool's Champions League game against Atletico Madrid is on 9 September.
Merseyside Police do not allow both Liverpool and Everton to play at home on the same night.
Wolves' Championship game against Portsmouth is postponed to 20 October.

The EFL appealed to Uefa to change Liverpool's game, but European fixtures take precedence.
