Jurgen Klopp has been given a boost at the perfect point to reignite Liverpool ’s stuttering Premier League season.
The Kop boss is infamous for his critique of the fixture schedule, often complaining about when his side are put in action. And few would disagree if he was to grumble right now, with the Reds set to play a mammoth 13 games in just six weeks before the mid-season break.
Liverpool will compete across three competitions, playing a game - on average - every three days. It’s a gruelling run which will test Klopp’s squad to the very limit as they look to claw themselves back into title contention and to secure a place in the Champions League last 16.
