Sportsmail breaks down why both Liverpool and Arsenal are in league action tonight and why both games will not be on TV.
Why are Liverpool and Arsenal both in league action on Wednesday night?
Arsenal will host Sean Dyche's Everton on Wednesday night as they look to establish a slight gap between themselves and Manchester City.
A win for Klopp's Liverpool against Wolves will see them edge closer to the top four - with a victory taking them to 39 points and only six points behind fourth-placed Tottenham with a game in hand.
Both the Gunners and the Reds were supposed to play their respective league games back in September.
However, both fixtures were cancelled due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II - who passed away on September 8.
Following the death of the Queen, the Premier League announced that they would postpone all games due to be held on September 10, 11 and 12.
Due to a packed fixture list - opportunities to re-arrange both games before the World Cup proved to be difficult.

Why will both games not be on TV?
With Liverpool and Arsenal both in league action, many will be wondering how they can watch the game live.
Unfortunately, for football fans wanting to watch the action, both games will not be shown live on TV.
Due to the Premier League's 3pm blackout rule, with both games originally set to take place at that time in September both games will not be shown live on TV - despite both fixtures taking place at a reasonable time.
Heading into the season, both games were not one of the 200 games selected for live coverage across Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon Prime Video.
The rearranged games fail to fall into the 200 live matches that fit into the seven different TV packages that are agreed upon at the start of the season.
