In December, the Reds will face West Ham United in the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup. Their most recent success in the competition, which was a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth, set up this clash.
When the Hatters play, Klopp will be hoping that his team can continue its current winning streak. Since returning to the Premier League, the Hatters have only come out on top once.
However, in the days leading up to the match, it appears that the German team may in the near future be without one of its most experienced players.
It has been reported by Football Insider that Thiago Alcantara, a midfielder, would be departing from Anfield at the conclusion of the current season due to the fact that his contract has expired.
There have been a number of injuries that have plagued the Brazilian player throughout his time on Merseyside, despite the fact that he moved to Liverpool from Bayern Munich, the German champions, three years ago.
Due to a hip injury that he sustained earlier in the season, the 32-year-old player has been sidelined for the entirety of the season. Despite the fact that he has participated in 97 games for Klopp’s squad across all competitions, he has been unable to play.
It is now widely believed that Thiago will quit Liverpool when his contract expires in the summer. This is due to the fact that he has not participated in any games for the club since April.
Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and James Milner were all players whom Liverpool lost during the summer transfer window, which resulted in a full overhaul of their midfield capabilities.
The following players were brought in as replacements: Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Ryan Gravenberch. However, it is probable that one more of Klopp’s more experienced players will leave the team in the coming months.
