LEEDS (Reuters) - The three points on offer for Liverpool's Premier League clash at Leeds United became something of a sideshow on Monday with the game paling into insignificance compared to the seismic events engulfing football.

Liverpool confirmed on Sunday they were one of six Premier League clubs to become part of a breakaway Super League -- a move that has been widely condemned and which looks set to provoke a bitter battle for power.

Earlier in the day Liverpool's supporters group Spirit of Shankly said it was taking down all of its banners which have adorned Anfield during the COVID-19 pandemic. American-owned Liverpool are joined by Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur as founders of the Super League, along with AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

"I have heard already there are warm-up shirts or whatever," the German said."We will not wear them because we cannot but if somebody thinks he has to remind us that you have to earn to go to the Champions League, that's a joke.
