Jurgen Klopp has provided a possible selection hint going into the game against Arsenal.
The FA Cup is a trophy that the Reds have a good chance of winning this season.
However, Mikel Arteta’s men will be hungry for a win after losing two consecutive Premier League games.
Speaking in his pre-Arsenal press conference, Jurgen Klopp has provided a team selection hint going into the clash:
“Not sure if Arsenal is a game to rotate.”
“I don’t know if we have the opportunity to do so, we don’t have the biggest squad available.”
“We have players available, and we can line-up a team 100% – a good team – and that’s what we will do.”
“If that looks afterwards like rotation, then I don’t know.”
“We have a squad available. We have six days between games. That’s long. There’s no need for rotation.”
“Okay three days later we have another game [against Fulham], but we can think about that game when the other game is over.”
“Both have the same importance, there’s nothing in-between.”
“We want to win these games and we want to go to the final.”
Liverpool have had a long break after their New Years Day victory against Newcastle United.
Therefore, it’s understandable why the German would want to play a full-strength squad.
Mikel Arteta will likely also opt for his best eleven on Sunday.
Arsenal will only play Crystal Palace on January 20 after the Liverpool clash this weekend, leaving plenty of time to recover.
Meanwhile, Dominik Szoboszlai has been ruled out of the tie this weekend.
