Jurgen Klopp has urged Sky to consider the implications of scheduling a game on Christmas Eve - a day he says that nobody wants football.
It seems increasingly likely that Liverpool’s trip to the Emirates Stadium will be put back 24 hours to enable Sky to stage live football on December 24 for the first time since they broadcast Manchester United’s game at Leeds in 1995.
The possibility of the switch has been greeted with dismay by both clubs and their supporters.
Arsenal have concerns, among other things, about stewarding issues, while Liverpool are dismayed about the disruption it will cause to their travelling fans.
