Leicesteron penalties on Wednesday in their Carabao Cup game and they have two league matches on 26 and 28 December. Their 2022 list is even more packed, with two semi-finals legs against Arsenal coming up.
"
I don't just speak about player welfare this year, I have been speaking about it for six years or maybe longer,"
Jurgen Klopp
said after the Leicester victory.
"If the things I say would help more, I would say it much more often. But it doesn't help. The only thing I do with these messages is I create headlines. They never arrive at the right places.
"Tomorrow we have a meeting at 4pm but it's with the Premier League and not with the EFL, I'm not sure if they are involved or not.
"I said it before, I would prefer only one semi-final. But I can't see any kind of changes actually."
There has been suggestions of the Carabao Cup semi-finals being changed to one leg in 2020. In the third and fourth round of the FA Cup, there won’t be replays and the Liverpool boss revealed that he would rather play one game than two.
"
I think it would be better with one game absolutely, but obviously what I say is not too important,"
he added.
"If there are two games, then we will play two games. But it would be helpful if there was only one, true.
"If the draw has us at Arsenal, I'm fine with that - we play there and see who is better and go for it."
