Former England national team manager Fabio Capello believes Liverpool are 'not the same side as a few months ago'.
Jurgen Klopp's side did not taste defeat in the Premier League this term until November 7 against West Ham United and have maintained their quest for silverware in all other cup competitions.
The Reds are into the final of the Carabao Cup, remain in the FA Cup and will have hopes of securing a seventh European Cup this campaign.

Inter Milan are the side standing in Liverpool's way of a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, though Capello has reassured the Serie A outfit that they should not be fazed by their opponents.
“The current Liverpool is not the same side it was a few months ago," he told Sky Sport Italia.
"Klopp said it was his strongest team? Well, he would say that, what do you expect him to say?
“The Liverpool goalkeeper has recently been Man of the Match in every game. That says a great deal about how they are defending," added the 75-year-old.
In agreement with Capello that Liverpool could be exploited by Inter, Paulo Di Canio weighted in with his opinion on the Reds.
The ex-West Ham striker recently suggested that Virgil van Dijk is 'not the same player' he was before his ACL injury and has now singled out Alisson for criticism.
“Alisson performs heroics in goal, but every four or five games he has a bit of a howler," he said.
"Liverpool have weak points, every team does.”
Liverpool will take part in the first leg of their last-16 tie in Italy on Wednesday evening, before hosting the return fixture against the reigning Serie A champions at Anfield on March 8.
