Liverpool to field strongest players in remaining PL games – UK media.


Liverpool has indicated the club will field its top players in the remaining nine rounds of matches, should the 2019/20 Premier League season resume, according to The Telegraph.
An unnamed Premier League CEO had previously suggested the integrity of the remaining matches would be affected if the Reds started fielding reserves once they secure the Premier League title – which they could do in the next two matches.


Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp is reportedly against such an approach and intends to play his strongest XI in every fixture.
The Reds need a maximum of six points to guarantee the title and could do it in the next two games, which will be against Everton and Crystal Palace.
After that, the Reds will face Manchester City, Aston Villa, Brighton, Burnley, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle. 
This season, Liverpool have fielded youth sides in senior games on several occasions, with strikingly different results. During the Club World Cup, a team of youngster players was thrashed 5-0 in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
However, a combined team of youth players and reserves beat Arsenal, Everton and Shrewsbury in the domestic cup fixtures.
