Sunday lunch kick-off time is unappetising for Jurgen Klopp

"It is Sunday, all English people will have lunch and we play football."

Manager Jurgen Klopp has pledged to fight Liverpool's corner in any future issues with kick-off times after admitting he could not believe Sunday's match at Swansea starts at noon.

The team returned home from Spain at 4am on Friday after the 1-0 Europa League semi-final defeat to Villarreal with their Premier League game in south Wales scheduled to kick off just 56 hours later.
