With Liverpool vs. Wolves one of 10 Premier League games this weekend to be postponed following the Queen’s death, we’ve selected a further nine games for you to follow.
Some fans have questioned the Premier League’s decision to cancel the last round of matches at such short notice.
It’s a decision that will affect hundreds of thousands of people who have spent money organizing travel and tickets during a financial crisis, as well as small businesses that depend on revenue from sporting events.
As it stands, it is unclear when Liverpool’s meeting with Wolves will be played, as this season’s match schedule is sufficiently congested.
However, there are a number of games being played abroad that Liverpool fans may want to keep an eye on, in a desperate attempt to satisfy their football fix. Here, we choose nine.
Are Napoli really good or did Liverpool just make it seem?
Napoli vs Spezia – Saturday 14:00
Three days after beating Liverpool by four, Luciano Spalletti’s Napoli will face Spezia in Serie A.
A win is likely to take them top as league leaders Atalanta won’t be in action until Sunday.
The idea of seeing Napoli again may not appeal to everyone, so shortly after such a poor performance from the Reds, it will be interesting to see how they fare ahead of our next meeting with them at Anfield on November 1.
What about our other Champions League opponents?
Perfect start.

Ajax vs Heerenveen – Saturday 17:45
Rangers will not play this weekend, with all SPFL games also postponed.
However, Ajax, the other team in Group A with Liverpool, host Heerenveen on Saturday night.
The departure of former manager Erik ten Hag, as well as the likes of Lisandro Martinez, Antony, Sebastien Haller, didn’t appear to have had too much of a negative impact on the Eredivisie champions as they beat Rangers 4-0 on Wednesday. .
Alfred Schreuder’s side travel to Anfield on Tuesday, with Champions League games likely to continue as they stand.
Look at Sadio Mane, if you can bear it!
Bayern Munich vs Stuttgart – Saturday 2:30 p.m.
Sadio has quite enjoyed the start of his time at Bayern, scoring three goals in his first five Bundesliga games and five in eight in all competitions.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side are third in the Bundesliga, having won three and drawn two games so far this season.
On Saturday afternoon they host Stuttgart, with Mane likely to start on top once again.
bellingham watch
RB Leipzig vs Borussia Dortmund – Saturday 2:30 p.m.
Alternatively, at the same time, he could see the player who is likely to be Liverpool’s main transfer target next year: Jude Bellingham.
The midfielder will be looking to follow up a stellar Champions League performance with another against RB Leipzig, who have just appointed Marco Rose, the man who was Bellingham’s manager at Dortmund last season, as their new manager!
It could be interesting.
Check-in at Origi in Italy
Sampdoria vs AC Milan – Saturday 7:45 p.m.
Compared to Mane, Divock Origi has had a slightly tougher time at his new club.
The legendary former Liverpool striker has yet to make his first start or score his first goal for AC Milan.
Could any of them happen when the Serie A champions travel to Sampdoria on Saturday night? Possibly.
Taki could also be in action
Monaco vs Lyon – Sunday 7:45 p.m.
On Sunday night, Takumi Minamino could feature in the weekend’s Ligue 1 game, when Monaco host Lyon.
The Japanese striker has recorded one assist in six appearances since leaving Liverpool for around £15m in the summer transfer window.
How is Sepp doing at Schalke?
Schalke vs Vfl Bochum – Saturday 5:30 p.m.
Last weekend, Sepp van den Berg played his first full 90 minutes for Schalke since joining the Bundesliga club on loan from Liverpool towards the end of the transfer window.
His first game was a 1-1 draw against Stuttgart, and on Saturday night he is likely to start his first home game for his new club.
More borrowers in action
Lugo vs Alavés – Saturday 1:00 p.m.
Anderson Arroyo has featured in three of Alaves’ four La Liga2 games so far this season, and could be set for another start when they take on Lugo at lunchtime on Saturday.
The Colombian defender is on his sixth loan move in less than five years, after extending his contract with Liverpool in the summer.
What about “Billy the Kid”?
Hartberg vs Austria Wien – Sunday 1:30 p.m.
Young centre-back Billy Koumetio has made 10 appearances since his loan to Austria Wien, and could get more minutes when he travels to Hartberg on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp has described Koumetio as “a great talent” in the past, and this loan spell could be crucial in determining whether he still has a future at Anfield.
