Rafa Benitez believes games involving teams that are challenging for the title and fighting against relegation should be played at the same time.
The Liverpool boss added that this would eradicate any unfair advantage gained from playing before of after your rivals.
Manchester United could have already wrapped up the Premier League title if they secure a point against Arsenal on Saturday before the Reds have even taken to the field at West Brom 24 hours later.
In the last four games the two sides have played in the same weekend they have only played on the same day once and even then United faced Tottenham in the evening kick-off knowing that Liverpool had beaten Hull City earlier in the day.
"Yes it is something we can improve in the future because over the last few weeks I think it is better to play at the same time," the Spaniard said.
"The teams that are fighting to avoid relegation and the teams fighting for the title, I think that if you play at the same time the last two games it will be the same for everyone. At least in Spain it is like this."
Despite United needing just a point from their remaining two games to secure their third successive title Benitez is not giving up until it is mathematically impossible for his side to wrestle the crown away from the Red Devils.
"I think so. You always have to think about the positive," he added.
"We have to get three points in our game and see if we can fight. If not we will fight to finish second.
"Arsenal is a good team they have a lot of quality and because of the defeat in the last game they have to prove something.
"He (Arsene Wenger) is a winner so he will want to win too and the players will not want lose like they have lost the last games and try to do your best."
