Read Liverpool’s verdict
The fixtures here are obviously not great for traveling supporters, but the free coach travel put on by Liverpool is a good attempt at helping fans on boxing day.
Late kickoffs are never easy for travelling fans, but this should be a great way to make sure that everyone can attend the clash with Leicester City.
