Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Premier League clubs should try to keep playing despite the rise in coronavirus cases.
Three top flight matches have so far been postponed due to positive Covid testing, and Fulham’s trip to Tottenham on Wednesday night was the most recent match canceled.
Aston Villa’s game with Newcastle in early December and Man City’s trip to Everton on Monday will also be played at a later date, and the surge in new positive evidence has prompted West Brom boss Sam Allardyce to call for a temporary suspension of the match schedule. .
A record number of 18 positives were recorded in the final round of 2020 Premier League testing, but the league is currently ruling out a ‘circuit breaker’, and Klopp, whose Liverpool side is the best in the league, feels that it is the correct course of action.
“I’m not a doctor, but I think we should do everything we can to stay competitive, I think it works well,” he said.
“We knew before that there would be a second wave in the winter and we also had the challenge of Christmas, where it was more difficult for people to isolate themselves, so it is understandable that the numbers have increased.
“So of course the numbers will go up in football too, but we are still doing our best to keep the kids as safe as possible. I think the competition can go on and I think it’s important that it does so too because the people want to see it. ” and we are isolated unlike the rest of society.

“I think we can continue but I respect the specialists and I respect the decisions made in the coming weeks.
Klopp says he won’t look back on 2020 very fondly despite Liverpool ending their 30-year wait for a top-tier league title during it.
“What happened in 2020 was a new experience for all of us, we had to deal with it and we are still doing it,” he said. “2020 had a highlight, becoming champions, and the rest were great, great challenges.
“We will face some more challenges in life and I am happy that 2020 is over. Aside from becoming champions, it is not a year where I will think much about the future.”
