Liverpool couldn't have been handed a tougher draw on Thursday night when they were put against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
The Reds came through a penalty shootout against League One side Derby County to carry on their defence of the trophy while City beat Chelsea 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
However, Jurgen Klopp may well be thinking the tie will come at a good time for Liverpool as City have a lot more players heading to the World Cup than the Reds do and the chance to play a strong side will present itself.
