‘Always the right decision to favour Club World Cup’ – Liverpool made correct Carabao Cup call, says Murphy

The ex-Reds midfielder believes prioritising success on a global stage will aid ongoing efforts to secure more major silverware on the domestic front

Prioritising Club World Cup success over a Carabao Cup run was “always the right decision” for Liverpool, says Danny Murphy, with another trophy triumph expected to aid an ongoing Premier League title bid.
