The postponed visit of coupled with an international break means that Liverpool now face 17 days without a game. In a season interrupted during the winter for a World Cup in Qatar, you might be forgiven for wondering how the Reds have ended up with such an extended rest. were scheduled to come to Anfield on March 18 but their run has dictated that this will now be played at a later date, while the final international break of the season is also upon us. Klopp’s Liverpool have typically been a side which has thrived upon rhythm, and breaks such as this have not necessarily been a good thing in recent times.
The manager has said that those three fixtures will “define” both this season and next, and the break is likely to be heavily focused on that set of games.
Trips to the Etihad and Stamford Bridge await after the international break – a brutal start irrespective of form or belief.
It is rare that Klopp has such time and breathing space to even consider such issues when games are coming thick and fast.
