Following Jurgen Klopp's announcement of his departure at the end of the season, Liverpool secured a thrilling 5-2 victory over Norwich City in the FA Cup fourth round, with goals from Curtis Jones, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Virgil van Dijk, and Ryan Gravenberch.
Up next for Liverpool are consecutive matches against Chelsea and Arsenal within five days, as they look to maintain or extend their five-point lead at the top of the table.
Key player Mohamed Salah is currently unavailable due to a muscle injury sustained at the Africa Cup of Nations, with his return date uncertain. Wataru Endo remains absent due to international duty with Japan at the Asian Cup.
