And Liverpool fulfilled (or were willing to) all their fixtures over Christmas. I don't think this run of three cup games were of particular concern to Liverpool/Klopp as they will rest everyone against Shrewsbury. The more charitable interpretation is that they are in the middle of a covid outbreak, with confirmed cases and, implied in this decision, others pending. All this is going to achieve for Liverpool is further fixture pile-up when they really don't want it later in the month...

Thing is, Klopp has been bleating on for ages about fixture pile up and playing teams with 48 hour turn around. Compare also Chelsea position yet still having to play. I am sure those things aren't lost on anyone or the fact that several of their players are representing their countries at Afcon.
