A new Saturday lunchtime kick-off against Everton next month means Liverpool will have just 63 hours between the first leg against City finishing and the 231st Merseyside derby starting at Everton's Goodison Park ground in front of TV cameras.

Fellow English Premier League big guns City, meanwhile, face Manchester United at 5.30pm the same day and Klopp is not happy.

"I know countries where they cancel whole match days so teams can be in the best shape," Klopp said.
