Liverpool had no fresh injury concerns ahead of tonight’s Champions League quarter-final meeting with Benfica.
The Reds have one foot in the semis after a 3-1 first-leg victory in Lisbon six days ago, sealed by goals from Ibrahima Konate, Sadio Mane and January signing Luis Diaz.
And after a pulsating 2-2 draw away at Manchester City last weekend, the Reds face their Premier League title rivals again on Saturday in an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
“The next game has no influence on the lineup for tomorrow but the last game has,” Klopp told reporters at his pre-Benfica press conference on Tuesday.
“Super intense schedule. No one injured as far as I know but we need to look at who is freshest.
“A super important game (against Benfica). We tried so hard to get to the Champions League and now we can make it to the semis.”
However, it is of no surprise to see Klopp make changes for the quarter-final second-leg visit of Benfica to Merseyside, with his team still fighting to achieve an unprecedented quadruple this term and so many key games on the horizon.
Konate comes in at centre-back with Joe Gomez coming in at-right back. Naby Keita also comes into the midfield.
Klopp has also rested Mohamed Salah with Diaz and Roberto Firmino the main options of the attackers who did not start at City.
Villarreal await the winners in the final four.
Starting Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Gomez, Matip, Konate, Tsimikas; Milner, Henderson, Keita; Diaz, Firmino, Jota.
