Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is annoyed with the Premier League only allowing three substitutions this season.
Clubs who have qualified for Europe, including Liverpool, will be playing a midweek game each week until December 22.
The Premier League allowed five substitutions after the restart last season, but that won't be happening for the 2020/21 campaign, which starts on September 12.
Asked whether he would have been in favour staying with five changes, Klopp replied: "Yes. I know the discussion will go again that it's an advantage for the bigger clubs. I don't discuss it from that point of view. I don't want to have an advantage in the competition.
"We have 38 Premier League games in a four-weeks shorter season. That says it all. And all the other competitions will be pretty much the same, as far as I know. That means just that these things would help. But I can imagine that other teams see it differently.
"I saw it last season as well when we played the last nine games — Manchester City could bring on five players — ooh not bad! But it's never for having an advantage. It's all about how can we get through this season. Not: 'Oh that's a little advantage here'.
"Getting in a good way through the season for the sake of the football players and the performance levels, I think it would make sense. But I don't make the decisions."
