      Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp calls for Community Shield teams to get BYE in FA Cup or Carabao Cup to ease fixture pile-up

      by

      JURGEN KLOPP has called for the teams involved in the Community Shield to be given a BYE into the next round of one England’s cup competitions.The Liverpool manager, whose team will play against Manchester City in this Saturday’s curtain raiser, called for an easing of the fixture pile-up for the two clubs.

      In his pre-match press conference, he said: “I like the competition but again I think it would be possible to find another date for it.
      “We had a longer season than other teams (last season) and now we have a shorter pre-season than other teams so it doesn’t make a lot of sense.”
      Last season Liverpool went all the way in all three cup competitions to take their total fixtures played last season to a staggering 63 matches.
      And ahead of an even more tightly packed fixture list ahead of the Qatar World Cup in November, Klopp wants the burden eased on his team.

      Putting in the miles
      Today’s Carabao Cup draw was split into North and South sections, but Peterborough will be cursing their rotten luck.
      They face a ten-hour round trip to Plymouth for their round one clash.
      And what’s more… they’ll have to make the same journey for a League One fixture the following weekend too.
      This leaves them facing the prospect of having to make two ten-hour round trips in just four days.
      They’ll have bitter memories too, having lost 4-0 to the Pilgrims at home in last year’s first round.
      More from Daws
      Michael Dawson has revealed what it’s like to win the Carabao Cup.
      He said: “It’s amazing. The chance to win silverware, me personally winning it in 2008, Tottenham haven’t won anything since.”
      He then went on to add: “The big teams wants to win this trophy.”
      Michael Dawson’s favourite ties
      Sky Sports pundit Michael Dawson has picked out Cambridge vs Millwall and Oxford vs Swansea as his ties of the round.
      Giving an insight into how Cambridge and Oxford players will be thinking, he said: “Can you get the Championship teams caught cold?”
      That’s your lot!
      We’ll have a bit of reaction and a round-up of the full draw to come.

      That means the Carabao Cup will get underway just days after the return of domestic football in England.
      All of the country’s top four leagues begin the weekend before – with the first Premier League match on August 5 between Crystal Palace and Arsenal.
      However, top flight teams will not enter the Carabao Cup until the second round.
      Then clubs who have qualified for the Champions League or Europa League will enter the draw in the third round.

      What is the Europa Conference League and will Man Utd have to play in it?

      by

      THERE is a new Uefa competition on the block this season – the Europa Conference League. Here’s all you need to know about the tournament, which this season saw two English teams take part – Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City.

      What is the Europa Conference League?
      The Europa Conference League is Uefa’s third tier European competition, formed in 2021.
      The idea of it is to give more clubs from more countries the chance to play European football.
      Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin said: “The new Uefa club competition makes Uefa’s club competitions more inclusive than ever before.
      “There will be more matches for more clubs, with more associations represented in the group stages.”
      Like the Champions League and Europa League, the competition will consist of a group and knockout stage.
      Which English teams qualify for the Europa Conference League?
      England has been granted one Europa Conference League place.
      The slot is allocated to the side which wins the Carabao Cup, assuming they have not already qualified for Europe through the league.
      However, in 2022/23 it will be allocated to the seventh placed Premier League team as Champions League sides Liverpool and Chelsea have faced off in both the League and FA Cup final.

      Which other teams qualify for the Europa Conference League?
      European football now involves a slimmed down Europa League with more teams entering the Conference League.
      Just 57 teams will compete in the Europa League compared to 184 in the Europa Conference League.
      While the champions of every country will get the chance to qualify for the Champions League, all other teams from countries ranked below 15th in the Uefa Coefficients will enter the Europa Conference League rather than the Europa League.
      Teams eliminated from the Champions League preliminary round and first qualifying rounds will also go to the Conference League, as well as those eliminated from the Europa League third qualifying round, play-off round and third place finishers in the group stage.
      After European football’s winter break, the Conference League also welcomes third placed teams from the Europa League group stage, which is how Leicester reached the 2022 semi-final.
      Will Man Utd end up in the Europa Conference League?
      As of May 13, West Ham sit in seventh place in the Premier League, three points behind Man Utd in sixth – a Europa League spot.
      However, the Hammers have a game in hand at home to Man City and and a far superior goal difference.
      Should West Ham win both their remaining games or earn three points more than Man Utd do before the end of the season, they will reach Europe’s second tier competition and condemn incoming United boss Erik ten Hag to the Conference League.
