It also ticks so many PL agenda boxes - give the Asian market 1 of their 2 biggest supported teams live at prime time sat nite to justify the big spend they give PL in overseas tv money, gets 1 of the 2 biggest supported domestic teams onto the BT/TNT schedule to keep them happy, use it as an excuse to spread the amount of televised games across more fairly across the 20 teams by making sure the big team is away etc. And lastly (not officially on their agenda but nonetheless still there) it puts LFC at a disadvantage as they could slip up. Seems to be the same in the early sat ko after being away in CL on a Wed nite but they can't fuck us over that way this season at least.
