Liverpool striker Daniel Sturride will be fit to face West Ham

Usually at this stage in the FA Cup, Liverpool are still facing clubs that would be wary of playing under the lights at Anfield. “Perhaps it will be in the morning before we play a game in the afternoon”.

A ninth match in 29 days forced the Reds boss, who is still managing a number of injuries, to make wholesale changes to his side but the younger players he brought in acquitted themselves well and should probably have won the game. “Since the last game against West Ham, we have had three or four games more”, Klopp said.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic praised No 2 goalkeeper Darren Randolph for earning his side a goalless draw at Liverpool in the FA Cup.

“He can not play tomorrow and for sure against Leicester but I don’t know what happens after Leicester”, said Klopp. That’s what we tried today. We lacked that kind of quality we normally have in the last third of the pitch, so overall I am happy with the result.

Liverpool reached the League Cup final earlier this week and punters may wish to use their free bet to back the Reds to progress in the FA Cup at the expense of the Hammers. A win will improve Klopps chances of getting a Champions League place while if Liverpool lose I think the best opportunity to play in the lucrative Champions League is through the Europa League.

“The Stoke game maybe was not our best football ever but we broke records and ran 156 kilometres”, Klopp told his media briefing on Friday afternoon.

A mixture of poor finishing and good goalkeeping was keeping West Ham in the match, and that was the case again 15 minutes from time when Randolph made a triple save to deny Benteke either side of an Allen effort, although Liverpool should have made more of the situation.

“We are very ambitious for the FA Cup and we are looking forward to the game”.

Mamadou Sakho may continue to start despite his inconsistent performances but Steven Caulker has yet to start and Klopp does not really lose anything by giving the loanee a chance.

“We’re in a final and it’s one step further than we got a year ago. You have to wait, like I have to wait”, Klopp said.

Teixeira was joined in the team against West Ham by fellow academy graduates Brad Smith (21), Kevin Stewart (22), Cameron Brannagan (19) with Sheyi Ojo (18) and Jerome Sinclair (19) coming off the bench.
