The choice has come about following a interval of ‘intensive session with golf equipment, police, native Security Advisory Teams and different related authorities’ with no different viable various recognized forward of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral subsequent Monday.
It’s unusual that decision-makers apparently didn’t contemplate swapping the away assembly in London for our internet hosting of the Blues later in January as a great answer, although the present circumstances do actually profit Jurgen Klopp’s males given ongoing considerations round efficiency ranges.
That being stated, it would elevate some degree of concern about congestion down the road – notably with a World Cup sandwiched in between the first-half of the marketing campaign and the second – allowing for that our conflict with Wolves has likewise suffered the very same destiny.
While it would undoubtedly frustrate managers throughout the English top-flight, the truth stays that the additional day off away from aggressive fixtures will grant the previous Dortmund boss and his teaching staff further time to work on fixing our issues on the pitch and welcome key males again from damage.
