Liverpool’s brutal schedule shows no sign of abating as they are one of four teams taking part in the Week 25 double.
Jurgen Klopp’s men are still performing well in all four competitions, which has shaken up the Premier League standings. The Merseyside side returned to the top of the table after beating Burnley 3-1 last time out.Liverpool are second, two points ahead of Manchester City, but the reigning champions have a game in hand.
The two clubs will now play twice in Gameweek 25. Liverpool face Brentford before taking on Luton, while City face Chelsea and then Wasps at the Etihad.
Why are Liverpool playing twice in Gameweek 25?
Liverpool played one league game while participating in the Carabao Cup final. Liverpool travel to London to face Brentford on Saturday before taking on Luton Town next weekend. It will be broadcast live on talkSPORT. Instead, United face Chelsea in the 2022 Carabao Cup final at Wembley on Sunday.
This led to the game against Luton being postponed a few days later, doubling as Gameweek 25, after originally being scheduled for next Wednesday. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s injury crisis after the win over Burnley has complicated Liverpool’s busy schedule.
Klopp said of the title challenge: “I know it will happen every week. Add to Tottenham a big win today. Villa play tomorrow. Of course they are all at Arsenal. Two weeks ago we had a good qualifying situation.
“After two weeks, we were lacking in every way. wow All these things can happen.” We all need luck to get through it, but if we don’t, we have to deal with it.”
