'It's the right thing to do': Jurgen Klopp pleads with Premier League and BT Sport to move Liverpool's clash with Newcastle later this month, with Saturday lunchtime kick-off following Champions League semi-final on Wednesday night

Jurgen Klopp once again moaned at Liverpool's fixture scheduling after it was confirmed that they will face Villarreal in the Champions League semi-final on a Wednesday night before a Saturday lunchtime kick-off against Newcastle.

Ahead of the quarter-final second leg against Benfica Klopp described the decision to allow BT to broadcast the St James' Park clash at 12.30pm on April 30 as 'unbelievable', and he double down on his view with their progress confirmed after a 3-3 draw at Anfield on Wednesday night saw the Reds beat the Portuguese side 6-4 on aggregate.
