Klopp has been outspoken about the Premier League's scheduling, with his team set to face Atalanta on Wednesday before travelling to Brighton on Saturday.

And speaking to Sky Sports after beating the Foxes, Klopp implored the game's broadcasters to try and alleviate the fixture congestion.

The German insisted he was not speaking just about Liverpool but players as a whole, referencing injuries to Arsenal left-back Bukayo Saka and Barcelona defender Gerard Pique.

"It was never about us when I talked about it, it was about all the players. If you don't start talking to BT [Sport] we are all done," Klopp told Sky Sports.

"Sky and BT have to talk because if we keep playing on Wednesday and Saturday [at] 12:30, I'm not sure if we will finish the season with 11 players.

"I know you [the broadcasters] don't care and that's the problem. We've discussed it for a long time and nothing's happened.

"I don't talk about Liverpool, I talk about all the football players out there. Yesterday, [Gerard] Pique massive knee injury. Today, [Bukayo] Saka, maybe, I'm not sure, a knee injury - he played all three games for England during the international break.

"Now people tell us to rotate players but who? We have some offensive players but the rest are kids.

"It's a massive problem. Wednesday and Saturday 12:30 is a broadcaster problem and nothing else. We play against Atalanta on Wednesday and then 12:30 [Saturday] against Brighton. It's an early Christmas present. We will show up there shaking. I think about sending the points. That's how it is."
