Jurgen Klopp made his Liverpool priority extremely clear as his side played in their FA Cup third round replay against Wolves on Wednesday night. The Reds were pegged back at Anfield in an entertaining 2-2 draw in the initial game and were fortunate to get to a replay after late VAR controversy disallowed what later appeared to be a perfectly fine goal.
The rescheduled game added to what is already a packed schedule for teams in Europe, especially with remaining matches to catch up on still. Coming back from the World Cup, Liverpool were still in every available competition but were soon dumped out of the Carabao Cup at the hands of Manchester City.
That did free up the fixture list for Klopp slightly ahead of a key run in the league. For Chelsea this is a point worth noting as the two sides remain close in the league table.
