When TNT selected Brentford vs Liverpool, they may well have had designs on moving it to a 12:30pm kick-off. However, FIFA agreed with player unions this summer that players would receive at least a 72-hour rest period between kick-offs. While that was no issue for Brentford, Liverpool's Champions League commitments have forced the game to be played no earlier than 8pm on Saturday evening That's because Arne Slot's side visited Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

This fall, only five are scheduled: Iowa at Rutgers, Rutgers at Washington, Nebraska at Minnesota, Northwestern at USC and Minnesota at Oregon.
