The English Football League (EFL) has expressed disappointment with UEFA after the scheduling of a Champions League fixture involving Liverpool on the same night as Everton's Carabao Cup clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers. The EFL said UEFA's decision forced it to rearrange fixtures after Liverpool's Champions League meeting with Atletico Madrid was scheduled for September 9, the same date initially fixed for Everton's home tie against Wolves. Logistical challenges involving the police meant Liverpool and Everton could not host home matches on the same evening. The EFL confirmed that the Carabao Cup tie had been scheduled with local stakeholders before UEFA announced Liverpool's Champions League game.
