Jurgen Klopp opens up on team selection ahead of FA Cup clash with Everton

After celebrating a 2-0 win over Sheffield United in the Premier League, Liverpool are preparing to play against Everton in the FA Cup on Sunday, January 5th. Ahead of the game, Jurgen Klopp gave a press conference where he spoke out on the derby and team selection. "How can I rotate? A little bit. We will see. For us it's still the day after the game, so that means we are assessing the boys, how they feel, how they reacted on the game last night. It was an intense game last night. The boys played an incredible game and it was only possible because we invested a lot, we were dominant, ran a lot and all that stuff. We have to see," said Klopp. "I couldn't make a line-up in this moment even if I wanted to and that's what I said last night. I have to make sensible decisions obviously about these things. Can I force anybody in that game and say, 'Whatever happens, I don't care, it's the last game of the season'? It is not, but that's always like this. "If it would now be a league game against Everton or if it would be another game, if it's not the last game of the season, you have always still the same things to think about and that's what I have to do still. I couldn't finish that thinking process so far. We will see. What we try to do is that we bring in a team who is capable of doing the physical stuff in that game. "I heard a little bit what Carlo said this morning and they are obviously on fire, no surprise. We have to make sure we are ready for that. That's why I said last night that we need the crowd because that's the only advantage we have really in this cup game. "There's no favourite, there's nothing, there's just two teams that play each other. In this case, two teams from the same city, so it's a derby, it's a big one. But how I said, the only advantage is that it's in our stadium, so let's use that and give your everything. That's the plan." source - Liverpoolfc.com
