Jurgen Klopp will surely have to consider fielding a very weakened team, due to a relentless January of fixtures across three different competitions.
In total, the Reds could have eight matches in the first month of 2017, including Premier League clashes with Man United and Chelsea, and a two-legged League Cup semi-final against Southampton.
