LIVERPOOL face Luton in their rearranged Premier League clash on Wednesday night.
But the tie is NOT being shown live on TV due to a bizarre rule.
The Reds were originally set to host the Hatters at Anfield this coming Saturday, February 24.
But due to Jurgen Klopp’s side booking their place in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Chelsea, the Premier League match needed to be rescheduled.
And the clash was brought forward three days to Wednesday night, with a 7.30pm kick-off under the lights on Merseyside.
However, fans will not be able to watch the action live on UK TV.

That is because the match was not originally selected by broadcasters Sky Sports or TNT Sports.
And that meant it was due to be played at 3pm on Saturday – during the nationwide TV football blackout.
Therefore, the match cannot subsequently be picked up by Sky or TNT because the companies have a limited number of matches as part of their deals with the Premier League.
So the fixture remains untelevised – just like Manchester City vs Brentford 24 hours earlier, which was moved due to the Treble winners’ involvement in the Club World Cup over Christmas.

Liverpool vs Luton will be available on talkSPORT radio.
On the same night, Arsenal’s trip to FC Porto and Napoli vs Barcelona in the Champions League are both on TNT Sports.
Sky Sports, meanwhile, have live coverage of Bradford City vs Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Trophy semi-final.
Liverpool go into the game with Luton off the back of their thumping 4-1 win at Brentford and sitting top of the table.
Mo Salah returned with a goal and an assist in West London.
But Klopp is sweating on the fitness of Curtis Jones, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota who all went off injured just eight days before the Carabao Cup final.
Luton remain in the thick of the relegation scrap but were unfortunate to lose 2-1 to Manchester United on Sunday, undone by a couple of errors and Casemiro escaping a red card.
