The annual competition is due to be held in Qatar in December
FIFA's failure to inform Liverpool over its plans is causing chaos at Anfield
Liverpool may need to postpone their clash with West Ham on December 21

Liverpool remain bewildered that FIFA have yet to contact them with specific plans for the Club World Cup in December.

FIFA made an announcement at seminar in Paris on June 3 that Liverpool would play in the Club World Cup, which is to be staged in Qatar.

The indications are that the final will be staged in Doha on December 22, with the tournament beginning on December 11.

Liverpool are still to be informed by FIFA about its plans for this December's Club World Cup

LIVERPOOL'S POTENTIAL FIXTURES

Dec 17-18: Potential League Cup quarter-final (TBC)

Dec 18: Potential CWC semi-final (TBC)

Dec 21: West Ham (A)

Dec 22: Potential CWC final (TBC)

Dec 26: Leicester (A)

Liverpool would enter the competition at the semi-final stage and the spin-off of that would mean their Premier League trip to West Ham on December 21 would need to be rearranged.

Sportsmail understands the Premier League will provide what support they can to minimise disruption.

Yet there is growing frustration within Anfield's hierarchy that they cannot get guidance from FIFA on what type of squad they will have to submit and when they will need to travel.

They are well aware of the potential for chaos in their fixture list if they progress in the domestic cups.
