Liverpool's Premier League trip to Leicester City will go ahead as scheduled after the Foxes were dumped out of the FA Cup at Millwall this afternoon.
Jurgen Klopp's side will travel to the champions on Monday, February 27 (kick-off 8pm) for a game that will be shown live on Sky Sports.
Had Leicester drawn with Millwall, the planned replay would have forced Liverpool's trip to the King Power to be brought forward to Saturday, February 25 with a 12.30pm kick-off.
However, the fixture will proceed as planned after Leicester were beaten 1-0 at The Den.
Meanwhile, Liverpool's home game against Burnley will take place as scheduled on Sunday, March 12 (kick-off 4pm), another fixture to be shown live on Sky.
Had Burnley progressed to the FA Cup quarter-finals, the match would have had to be rearranged.
The Clarets, though, were victims of a huge Cup shock earlier today when Lincoln City became the first non-league team to reach the last eight in 103 years with a dramatic 1-0 win at Turf Moor.
