Jurgen Klopp has once again voiced his displeasure at the hectic schedule of Premier League football over the festive period.
The Liverpool boss is staring down the barrel of eight fixtures during December, which then leads into a very tight turnaround before facing title rivals Chelsea on January 2.
For several seasons Klopp has made his opinions known at the end of the calendar year, in what is often seen as a gentle nod to the powers that be in football to ease the heavy pile up of fixtures.
