Klopp will be apoplectic at having to squeeze all those games into such a short timeframe.
He'll be after a winter break, just wait for it.
If City (or Chelsea lol) make it through to the Champions League Final you can guarantee that Liverpool will retain the title next year. Two weekends between that and kicking off the new season - hardly a pre-season is it.

Maybe, and I know you are speaking with tongue in cheek, but they have already said there will not be a winter break.

There are also International fixtures on the 5th and 8th September for the start of the Nations League. I bet quite a few top 6 players are “injured” and pulled from their squads.

I fear you will be right. Would rather play them later as they are bound to start with a win just to delude the Leeds fan further!

Don't promoted teams generally get given a home match for the first game of the season?
Or have I imagined that?

I know, but it won't stop the Teutonic whinger banging on about how exhausted his poor superstars are by October and playing four 15 year olds in the FA Cup first round.
All three were away from home first game of this season https://en.as.com/resultados/futbol/inglaterra/2019_2020/jornada/regular_a_1/

With the international fixtures the week before the start, it's going to cause issues with our home friendly which is usually the week before the season.
Read an interview with a manager that said they never want to play a newly promoted team in the first 6 matches of the season as they are all eager and running around with something to prove.
Madness that the Nations League is going ahead. There needs to be a let up somewhere in the calendar or Euro 2020 (attempt #2) is going to be awful viewing.

The dates were announced today,people really have to give the club a chance, this is something totally outside the clubs control. Given the previous solution to refunds for matches it seems the club will act fairly. They have no idea whether there will be no fans, a couple of thousand fans, 50% capacity, 70% or what. They acted pretty well at the break, I think they will again.
Don't the newly promoted teams get a home game against one of the top clubs as a 'reward' for joining the cannon fodder?
Hopefully Leeds will get a rampant Man City with a point to prove and get mullered 0-8
Yep not criticising The club at all - but people will have paid their Season ticket off in full about 4 months ago or those paying by Direct Debit will have had money being taken since April 1st.
It's a lot of money if we aren't actually getting to go. i guess they will make an announcement in next few days
