– The Liverpool vs Brentford match in the Premier League continued, Saturday (6/5/2023) evening at 23.30 WIB will feel a little different. Ahead of the match will be played again British nationality to mark the coronation of King Charles III.

The Premier League has suggested to clubs to mark the occasion by playing the national anthem God Save the King before kick-offbut does not require it.

“Before kick-off and in recognition of the Premier League’s request to mark the coronation, players and officials will gather around the center circle as the national anthem will be played,” the club said in a statement.

“Of course, it’s a personal choice how those at Anfield on Saturday mark this occasion and we know some supporters have strong views on that.”

Liverpool once did this when facing Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley last year even though it was later jeered by the crowd.

However the club has now confirmed that God Save the King will be played at Anfield before kick-off. Actually there were several figures in the club who objected to the song being played because they were worried that the audience would boo again.

However, Liverpool also want to avoid a situation in which they become the only Premier League club not to play the song on coronation weekend.

Coach Jurgen Klopp has no objection to the planned playing of the British national anthem. “That would be great. If my opinion counts, it has nothing to do with me,” said Klopp.

Liverpool fans previously observed a minute’s silence to mark the death of Queen Elizabeth II before their Champions League game against Ajax in September.
