The Reds succumbed to a 2-1 defeat to the Blues in the third round of the Carabao Cup at Anfield on Wednesday night in a game in which both sides made eight changes to their starting line-ups.
They do battle again once more in London in Saturday’s tea-time clash, with Liverpool looking to extend their flawless start to the Premier League season by recording a seventh successive win.
Klopp previewed the contest during a media briefing at Melwood on Friday morning, during which he outlined why the analysis of the cup tie can aid Liverpool’s preparations for a fixture he predicts will be ‘interesting and intense for both’.
