Last orders: Pool v Arsenal kickoff moved due to pub curfew

Liverpool fans watch the trophy lift from outside a pub following the Premier League match between Liverpool FC and Chelsea FC at Anfield on July 22

The kick-off for the Premier League meeting of Liverpool and Arsenal next Monday is set to be moved forward due to the new 10pm pub curfew in the UK, according to reports.

The Premier League is set to switch the Anfield tie from 8.15pm to 8pm due to new UK government Covid-19 rules that could have prevented viewers seeing the end of the game on pub TVs.
