Jurgen Klopp has conceded that last season's 63-game campaign is having an effect on Liverpool's troubled term this time around.
The Reds played every game possible last time out, winning both domestic cups on penalties against Chelsea before losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League final in late May after amassing 92 Premier League points.
Klopp's men have since endured a difficult season and head into Saturday's trip to Brighton in seventh place and seven points adrift of Manchester United, who currently occupy the fourth and final Champions League spot.
