On December 30th, Beijing time, Liverpool will host Leicester City in the 21st round. Two days later, Liverpool will challenge Burnley away in the 22nd round. In the same period last season, the Reds won one and drew one against Manchester City and Sunderland. For the Christmas fixtures, Klopp said he can only accept and adapt to such requirements.
"There's nothing to learn from it, you just have to learn to accept it, that's all." Klopp said in an interview with Liverpool's official website.
"We have to be completely focused on the game against Leicester City. After this game we have a couple of hours to combine all the information to see who can play Burnley and then we will decide on the starting line-up."
"This schedule is unusual. We won't complain. We play Leicester City, then Burnley and then Everton - no problem."
Jags said, "It depends on the injuries and we feel we are really ready."
"It's not that we weren't prepared for this period last season, it's that we suffered injuries at the wrong point in time and that's just the way it is. We've got injuries now as well - hopefully no more players will get injured."
"If we have a full squad, then we will be ready for almost any game. Right now, our focus is on Leicester City. For this game we are ready, that's for sure, we'll see."
Meanwhile, Klopp has praised Pierre, who took over at Leicester City midway through the season, for the changes he has brought to the team.
"We haven't analyzed Leicester City so far, but I watched that game they played against Manchester United - they're really playing good soccer now and also remain a great counter-attacking team." Klopp said.
"They're a well-adjusted, tactically sound team, and that's probably the biggest change that Pierre's arrival has made. It's going to be another tough matchup. This part of the season is very difficult for all of us and you have to be ready for it. I actually enjoy the challenge."
