WHAT HAPPENED?
In a passionate rant ahead of Liverpool's clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, Klopp voiced his frustration over the scheduling decisions made by broadcasters. The focus of his ire was the disproportionate number of early kick-offs, particularly the 12.30 pm Saturday slot, which Liverpool have frequently been allocated, despite their mid-week European League commitments.

WHAT AMNESTY SAID
Klopp's unconventional call for intervention from Amnesty International to address the fixture congestion dilemma drew an unexpected response from the human rights organisation. Taking to Twitter, Amnesty humorously wrote: "Hi Jurgen, Maybe next year. We're a bit busy at the moment. But, feel free to donate to us in the meantime. Thanks."

Liverpool have seen a slump in their recent domestic form winning just one of their last five Premier League matches. Currently occupying the third position in the league standings with 75 points, Klopp's side trails league leaders Arsenal by five points and second-placed Manchester City by four, with the latter holding a game in hand.
