Jurgen Klopp no fan of Christmas Eve fixture

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp called on Sky to seriously consider the implications of scheduling a match on Christmas Eve which he believes fans will have no appetite for.

It is understood the broadcaster is considering moving the Reds’ fixture against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium back a day and have already made both clubs aware they want them to consider the prospect.

Klopp accepts the billions of pounds clubs accept from the television company mean they can have few complaints when issues like this arise but he does not believe the scheduling is in the greater good.
