In the past period of time, Liverpool’s schedule has been extremely dense, and the Red Army management has a very big opinion on the schedule arranged by the Premier League.

The game was arranged in the early game of the 35th round of the Premier League, from the end of the previous game, but starting this game, Liverpool only rested for 62.5 hours.
