The Gunners stated in the announcement that the rescheduling of this game was due to the team's irregular arrangements for the League Cup schedule.
Arsenal will face Crystal Palace in the League Cup quarter-finals. Since Crystal Palace has UEFA competition obligations, the Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace match has been scheduled to December 23. This will result in Arsenal playing 2 games within 48 hours, which violates FIFA's recommendation that there be at least 72 hours of rest between the two games.
Arsenal communicated with the Premier League and Everton about this matter, and finally decided to reschedule the game.
Arsenal officials also stated: "We always put the interests of players, fans and staff first, and fully understand that this date change may cause inconvenience to fans who go to Liverpool to watch the game. Therefore, we have organized an additional fan bus for this game. All bus trips will be subsidized for fans, and the round-trip fare to Everton is set at 10 pounds."
