Liverpool and Manchester United both go into Monday’s game without a win this season, and in the case of the latter, without any points. It added fuel to the already burning fire of discontent at Man United, with fans continuing to demand changes from their owners, the Glazer family. Protests have been widely discussed for this game, including plans to boycott the game, while fan group The 1958 announced plans to “march” an hour before the game to oppose this “bad ownership”. Whether this will cause a delay to kick-off or even a postponement, as happened in May 2021 when fans stormed the stadium to force the match to be postponed 11 days, remains to be seen. But if the game could not go ahead as planned on Monday afternoon, Klopp feels the solution is simple. “I really hope it doesn’t happen, but if it does I think we have to get the points,” Klopp told reporters. “We have nothing to do with the situation. If that happens and the fans want the game not to happen, we can’t rearrange the game and try to fit it in somewhere… it’s incredibly busy [schedule]. “I don’t think, and I really hope, that won’t happen. I have no idea what could happen, I don’t think about it. “They tell us it’s fine, we go there and play the game, hopefully, and then we go home. “But if [the game gets postponed], I really believe, in such a situation, always the other team should get the points because it has nothing to do with it. They prepared it [the game]. “Now you have your title,” he added with a wry smile. Events since May 2021 have never led to any punishment to prevent a similar move and it is understandable for Klopp to take this position and he will not be alone in thinking so.
