Is there even a good reason for this and seems weird sticking two title rivals in that time. Can imagine it will also be very difficult for Liverpool fans travelling up from London so early to get to the game on time

I discount the Asian market theory because the selections are made by the domestic rights owners.
I think getting a big game on for a good time slot in Asia is a happy side benefit to the league when they go to renew/resell broadcast rights, though.
