Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool should be given the three points if a fan protest causes their game at Manchester United to be called off.
The Reds face off against United on Monday Night Football in a brilliant fixture to end game week three.
Both sides are without a win, but United have lost back-to-back games against Brighton and Brentford.
Liverpool are already four points behind Manchester City and will want the three points given to them if a fan protest disrupts or cancels the Premier League game.

Fan protest at Old Trafford
United supporters have consistently protested against the owners of the club and more demonstrations are planned next week.
Klopp believes his side should get three points if there is a potential protest: “We have nothing to do with the situation. If that happens and the supporters want the game to be not happening then we can’t just rearrange the game then fit it in somewhere in anyway in an incredibly busy schedule.
“In a situation like this always the other team should get the points because they have nothing to do with it.”
"If it happens, I think we should get the point"

Klopp has already spoken on these matters before back in 2021 around the time fans had protested against the Glazers.
He passionately revealed: “Was I surprised these kind of things happened? No, I’m an absolute believer in democracy. When the pundits were asking for protests, I said we need to be careful and calm down. I heard some policeman got injured and that should not happen.”
It’s safe to say he won’t be happy if the game is disrupted and both teams have to settle for a point.
