Jurgen Klopp claims he does not think anyone wants to see Liverpool play at Arsenal on Christmas Eve.

Sky are considering switching the game to December 24 at 3pm at the Emirates and Klopp says it makes no sense.

He accepts that the clubs have little say because they signed the latest TV deal, but says the broadcasters must be careful not to damage the product with their demands.

“I always said that the broadcaster has to consider that the wonderful thing they sell - and they do give a lot of money to the clubs - depends on the quality and freshness of the players,” said the Reds boss.

“If we play on December 24, I am not sure we can fight against it. But Sky has then to make a decision if they really want to do this, if they really want to bring supporters onto the streets that night, if they really want to bring all the people who work for television away from home that night.

“We are the last ones in this role who may have something to say about the decision.

“I really think it is no problem for people to be very concentrated on important nights on something other than football.

"For us it is not a normal time, so if we don't play 24th we'll play the 25th or 26th, but it is still Christmas for our families although not for us. We are used to it.

“But if you think of all the other people involved who have to go there.

“I really cannot imagine that anyone wants to watch football on that night.”
