Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has called on television broadcasters to ditch their reported plan to move his club's clash with Arsenal to Christmas Eve. It has been suggested Sky chiefs are keen for Liverpool's trip to the Emirates Stadium to be put back a day and have already made both clubs aware they want them to consider the prospect.

Klopp accepts the billions of pounds clubs are paid by the TV company mean they can have few complaints when issues like this arise, but he does not believe scheduling the match for the day before Christmas would make it attractive to fans. "I cannot imagine that anyone wants to watch football on that night," Klopp said.
"I really think it is no problem for people to be very concentrated on important nights on something other than football. "If the supporters want to see a game on Christmas Eve then probably the TV broadcaster will find a way to deliver it and obviously they've found a way already. I didn't know before the date was possible but now I know it is possible."
