Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool’s fringe players have put themselves in contention for a starting role against Chelsea this weekend after they secured FA Cup progress.
Harvey Elliott’s 13th-minute wonder strike was enough to earn the Reds a hard-earned 1-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers in their third round replay on Tuesday night.
Elliott was one of eight changes made to the side that suffered a 3-0 Premier League loss at Brighton and Hove Albion last Saturday, a performance Klopp regards as the worst of his seven-year tenure.
