Jurgen Klopp is facing more international break anger following reports that Manchester Police have decided to move their Premier League clash against Manchester City.
The Reds were due to face Pep Guardiola's side at the Etihad Stadium on 25 November in the late Saturday slot on Sky Sports.
However, the Daily Mail claim that the police are not expected to give permission for the fixture to take place at that time due to a following a number of policing issues in the past.

As a result, the game will reportedly be brought forward to 12.30pm, and in turn have a knock-on effect on Arsenal’s trip to Brentford. That fixture had been scheduled to kick off at 12.30pm on TNT Sports, but instead will be played at 5:30.
Meanwhile, Manchester United's visit to Everton has also been amended, with the game moving to the 4:30 slot from it's original 3:00 kick-off.
It will be the 14th occasion that Klopp has been given the lunchtime kick-off immediately after an international break since he took over - with the Merseyside derby also pencilled in for 12:30 next Saturday.

And it is unlikely the German coach will take the news well after he hit out at the Premier League's schedule organisers last month, labelling the situation a "joke".
After it was announced that Liverpool would play Wolves at Molineux in the lunchtime kick-off in September Klopp told reporters: "12:30 is not a problem if you have a week to prepare. The only problem is the lack of recovery time.
"We have four international breaks until March. Two of them we have the early kick-off. If I say more about it the whole world goes again and says 'he's moaning again'.
"This is a joke. We have players in South America I haven't seen yet. In 24 hours we play.

"But this is like it is, we cannot change that, they will never change that, whoever we talk to. Now the TV channel has a different name but that doesn't change anything at all. They just don't give a 'bleep' about that.
