Jurgen Klopp has hailed Liverpool 's squad because the strongest he's had throughout his time at Anfield and needs them to boost their reputations in a season defining interval - beginning towards Leicester.
Although Sadio Mane is just not accessible this night, after arriving again from Senegal's AFCON celebrations, and Jordan Henderson is a doubt as a consequence of a small again concern, Klopp has nearly each participant accessible at the beginning of a run that may see Liverpool play 12 occasions in six weeks.
These fixtures embrace a collision with Chelsea within the Carabao Cup remaining, the final 16 Champions League tie with Inter Milan, the FA Cup fifth spherical conflict with Norwich and Premier League showdowns at Anfield towards West Ham and Manchester United.
It's a sequence that may decide how profitable Liverpool's marketing campaign could be and Klopp, actually, is enthused concerning the prospects it presents - however he's acutely aware of the risk Leicester pose and has warned they are going to be smarting after shedding their grip on the cup final weekend.
'We want to be in the different competitions for as long as somehow possible in a position where we can be in the last three or four match-days and they are interesting,' mentioned Klopp.
'In the cup competitions we want to be in until the final. Then we think about how we can win the final.
'That was always the same by the way - but it has not worked out that often. For us, at least, it has never happened that we are still in four competitions at this point, not for us, so that is special.
'We came through this tricky situation with having two of the best strikers in the world away and not available and Naby Keita, a world-class midfielder, not available, plus injuries. But we came through this period, so the boys did a good job.
'Now, again, we have to clear our minds and go for it with all our minds, all our desire, determination, freshness and all these kinds of things. We don't go now for the Premier League - we just go into a Premier League game with all we have. That is the plan.'
Klopp, whose aspect misplaced 1-0 at Leicester on December 28, added: 'The way I know Brendan (Rodgers), he wants to see a reaction from his players. That is the one thing I am concerned about. That is the Leicester team I am thinking about and not the Leicester team who lost to Nottingham Forest.'
There's a sense, nonetheless, that Liverpool are beginning to hit their peak kind. The addition of Luis Diaz, together with the return to coaching of the livewire Harvey Elliott, has supplied recent impetus and Klopp was pleased to acknowledge the wealth of choices he has at his disposal.
'It's the first time in my life because in Germany we only have three competitions,' mentioned Klopp.
'This is the strongest squad, of course, there is no doubt about that. If that wasn't the case then that means that we have gotten weaker over the years.
'We've always had a strong squad. That we didn't make it so far in four competitions in the years before, I have spoken about it before, is for a bunch of different reasons.
'Timing is important in football, so when you come through a brilliant December, for example, on three wheels then it gets a bit bumpy in January.
'Whoever is available you can still only line up 11 and change three, so the big decisive squad does not have such an impact. But in the mid to long-term, it has a massive impact. Hopefully in this period we can really use it.
'We have 12 games in that period; it means we play every three days and that is tough. So the more quality we have and the more experienced players we have available the more of a chance we have to win the games if we perform how we have to.'
