Liverpool will play the national anthem before their game against Brentford on Saturday, despite saying they know some fans “have strong views on it”.
The club’s supporters booed ‘Abide With Me’ and ‘God Save the Queen’ before last season’s FA Cup final.
The national anthem is being played at top-flight matches on Saturday to mark the coronation of King Charles III.
Liverpool said it would be played “in recognition of the Premier League’s request to mark the coronation”.
The Premier League strongly advised clubs across this weekend’s matches to mark the coronation in some way and suggested some options, with the national anthem being one – although there was no mandate to do so.
The other games in the top flight on Saturday see Bournemouth host Chelsea, Manchester City play Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur face Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers host Aston Villa.
Speaking about the booing of the national anthem at last season’s FA Cup final at Wembley, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said it was “not something I enjoyed”.
