Jurgen Klopp could face two more Liverpool nightmares as Premier League rule explained

Liverpool can only be selected for TNT Sports' Saturday 12:30pm kick-off twice more between now and the end of the season after February's television picks were announced.

Meanwhile, a return to the capital to face Thomas Frank's side two weeks later will begin at 12:30pm on Saturday, February 17 and be the Reds' fifth Saturday early kick-off of the 2023/24 season already.
