Jamie Carragher on Liverpool's Club World Cup conundrum and how Jurgen Klopp must manage December chaos

Former the Reds star Jamie Carragher has spoken out on Liverpool's "crazy" December fixture as he thinks that FIFA Club World Cup is important for his former side as the Reds have never won it. Liverpool are set to take on Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on December 17 and will face thier FIFA Club World Cup semi-final in Qatar on December 18. Speaking with LiverpoolEcho, Carragher said: "I know a lot of Liverpool supporters wouldn't say this, and certainly the club couldn't, but nothing can get in the way of Liverpool winning the league. Nothing. "The Aston Villa game in the Carabao Cup? If Liverpool get through they will have two semi-finals to play then and that cannot get in the way of Liverpool winning the league. "What I mean by that is do not play anyone in your first XI in that Carabao Cup team. Not one. "If Liverpool win the league this year and find themselves in the same position next year I wouldn't be saying that. "I'd probably be saying 'we are Liverpool Football Club. We should try and win the lot.' But because it has been so long nothing can be allowed to get in the way of Liverpool pushing on and winning the league." He added: "The Club World Cup, for me, is very important. "A lot of people outside Liverpool don't understand that. But really it's massive for Liverpool. They have never won it before. To be able to say you're the world champions." source - LiverpoolEcho
