The Official Liverpool FC Thread [Vol 11]
Discussion
Liverpool's season will now start at Arsenal on Sunday August 14 after the first round of fixture changes for 2016-17 were confirmed by the Premier League.
The Reds’ trip to Emirates Stadium has been rescheduled for a 4pm kick-off on the opening weekend and will be broadcast by Sky Sports.
Sky will also televise the away clash with Tottenham Hotspur, which is set for 12.30pm on Saturday August 27.
Jürgen Klopp’s team will host reigning champions Leicester City in a 5.30pm kick-off on Saturday September 10, with BT Sport showing the match.
Their game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, meanwhile, will take place on Friday September 16 and begin at 8pm. Sky will broadcast the contest.
Advance changes have also been made for the trips to Middlesbrough (7.45pm on Wednesday December 14) and West Bromwich Albion (3pm on Sunday April 16). These two fixtures could still be selected for broadcasting at a later date.
And the club has confirmed that the fixtures with Burnley have been reversed.
The first meeting, which was originally scheduled for Anfield, will now be held at Turf Moor at 3pm on Saturday August 20.
Their return match is therefore set to be played at Anfield at 4pm on Sunday March 12, subject to FA Cup participation and broadcast selection.
The expansion of the Main Stand will be ready and open to fans for the start of the Premier League season, but the additional days prior to the first home game provided by this switch is a prudent approach to a project of this scale.

New deal for Klopp? Isn't that a bit strange bearing in mind how little time he's been here and how long his current deal has to run.
I'm not against it, but it just strikes me as unnecessary.
What if someone say Juve come in and offer him a 5 yr and he only has less than 2 with us ? security for his family, lets not pretend we all dont know he is the best thing to happen to us for a long long time.... its quite clear to see he knows his stuff,i just hope the glory hunting fans dont start calling for his sack if we dont get top 4 this year or win a cup.... it could take him 2/3 years to fully get his squad he wants and get them to understand his ways not just 1st team but youth, reserves etc... I'm not against it, but it just strikes me as unnecessary.

The Chinese with all their millions have just taken over at AC Milan.
I would think it makes sense for all our teams to give improved offers to all of their prized possessions .
Totally agree... there is no negative to Klopps contract being extended, anyone with half a football brain can see he is perfect for our club and we need to protect that... I would think it makes sense for all our teams to give improved offers to all of their prized possessions .
