The Reds are still at a stage in their fixture list where games are played every three days, so the physical strain on the Reds' squad for the next round of FA Cup fixtures, when the Reds host Norwich at Anfield on Sunday 28 January. So the Reds could go into this game with the following line-up.

Brazilian Alisson Becker would be in goal, as although Caoimhín Kelleher has been selected for the Carabao Cup, it doesn't look like that will be the case in the FA Cup, as Becker was in charge last time out against Arsenal. While the central defence would consist of Joe Gomez and Virgil Van Dijk, as Ibrahima Konaté, who has just returned from injury, would not be risked.

The defence would be completed with Conor Bradley at right-back, while on the left wing we could see the debut of young Owen Beck, as although Andy Robertson is back after three months out through injury, Klopp would try to look after him a little more. The midfield would consist of Alexis Mac Allister, being the only viable option of a defensive midfielder, being the lower part of the team.

While in front of Mac Allister they could be repeating with Harvey Elliott accommodating Curtis Jones. In front of these two we could find Luis Diaz as a winger on the left, while Cody Gakpo on the left to close with Digo Jota as the team's centre forward.

The Reds' next game doesn't look to be that complicated, yet these are the stories that flood the FA Cup, where the favourites end up losing to a much more modest side. So Klopp knows that his team must not be complacent and must go out and give their all. Also the team must keep a strong position, as the next games for the Reds, will be against Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League. So a defeat against Norwich could affect the team's morale.
