Fans on social media raged at the EFL for showing 'big club bias' to Liverpool after their Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg at Arsenal was postponed due to a Covid outbreak.
The Reds put in a request to delay Thursday night's trip to London after they had to close down their Kirkby training centre after the outbreak, with the first-leg delayed by two weeks - though Liverpool will relinquish the second-leg advantage at Anfield.
Supporters raged at the decision to postpone and used examples of Leyton Orient having to forfeit their FA Cup clash with Tottenham last season due to an outbreak, while Aston Villa played a team of Under-18s players for their tie with Liverpool in the same month.
