The Mirror released a report on how matchdays would look in the behind-closed-doors fixtures, with 300 people set to be present.
Those include broadcasting staff alongside players, staff, directors and medical representatives if and when needed.
Carlo Ancelotti and his squad will want all of that sorted so they can crack on with matters on the pitch.
Should Manchester City lose against Arsenal, it gives Liverpool the chance to win the title at Goodison and Everton the perfect opportunity to halt that success – need any more motivation? We thought not.
