Liverpool supporters have reservations over the national anthem being played ahead of the Premier League clash against Brentford, according to the latest figures from an ECHO poll.
Saturday's fixture at Anfield comes on the same day as King Charles III's coronation and all Premier League teams hosting fixtures were recently contacted by the league's officials who "strongly suggested" that 'God Save the King' should be played while players and officials gather around the centre circle prior kick-off.
As a result, Anfield officials have reluctantly agreed and the ECHO understands that the club believe they have been put in an impossible position following the Premier League's request amid understandable opposition from their own supporters.
