Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has once again criticised Premier League bosses and television broadcasters for handing Liverpool a Saturday lunchtime kick-off at Newcastle days after a possible Champions League semi-final.
The Reds boss has been vocal on the importance of protecting players amid hectic fixture schedules during his time in England and raised the issue ahead of his side's clash in Europe this week.
The Merseyside giants are still competing on three fronts after winning the Carabao Cup in February but said the focus is only on the next game, given the jam-packed programme.
