While soap fans can enjoy smooth sailing this week, the calm is only temporary. ITV’s Carabao Cup coverage is set to bring further schedule shifts later this month as the tournament reaches its high-stakes third round. ITV will broadcast live coverage of Liverpool’s blockbuster third-round tie against Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday, September 15. With pre-match build-up and live coverage dominating, the usual evening schedule will be cleared to accommodate the huge Anfield clash. ITV has yet to officially confirm how it will rearrange its prime-time line-up for the match. But during previous cup rounds, the channel has cleared Tuesday’s soap slot and aired an episode on the following Sunday evening instead – so it’s likely there’ll be an “extra” episode on Sunday, September 20.
