Liverpool face-off against West Bromwich Albion for the fourth round of the FA Cup tonight.
The Reds will be hoping to bounce back from their first defeat in 19 games in all competitions.
Their defeat against Swansea was their first loss since Tottenham, back in October.
Liverpool and West Brom’s fourth round FA Cup game will be held at Anfield.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said, “I think it’s a good time to play football, to be honest. Much better than 12 o’clock – I am hungry at 12, but not at 7.45pm!
“I like it and hope people like it as well. It’s a floodlight game and that’s very good.
“It’s very important that we create a special atmosphere.
“We played a few weeks ago against West Brom and they’ve developed since then. We played not that well that day, but they did well, so respect.”
Unfortunately, West Brom’s squad has been hit by flu.
James McClean, Jay Rodriguez, Ben Foster, Ahmed Hegazi and Gareth McAuley are among a slew of players unable to train.
Midfielder Sam Field is also out with the flu.
West Brom manager Alan Pardew: “We take less pressure into this game. It’s a cup game with no league points on offer.
“The pressure is off us so maybe we can open up our game a little bit which is what I’ve been trying to encourage since I have been here.
“We will go to Liverpool and try and cause them problems.”
