Watching this one with interest.

League should say no, but they will instead agree to let them rearrange it - right?

1 we got kicked out the cup due to covid cases last season, why won’t Liverpool be booted out as well?

2 they played Aston Villa last season in the semi final with their kids if I remember rightly? Why can’t they do that again?

3 Kloop has given it the biggie about vaccinated players and staff and will only sign vaccinated players. How’s that working out now Klopp boy?

Since this is over two legs then potentially there could be different rules regarding postponements than earlier in the competition (i.e. when we had to forfeit).

I believe we were chucked out in line with the competition rules, that stated this could happen in the early rounds. The rule did not apply to the later rounds.
