Jurgen Klopp does have the flexibility where he can change two or three players, maybe not as many changes as Manchester City could make.
The Champions League is a huge game - having lost at Red Star Belgrade in their last match in the competition they are under pressure.
To keep pace with Manchester City they are going to have to keep winning games in the league.

Match of the Day commentatorUnbeaten and seemingly unflappable, Liverpool resume their quest to maintain the pace with the champions.
I remember being at Vicarage Road for this fixture on the opening day of last season. Liverpool conceded three, and threw away three points in the 93rd minute as further defensive questions were asked.
What a difference a year makes. Amid the suggestions that Jürgen Klopp's team are not quite as flamboyant, there's no escaping the difference at the other end of the pitch.
They will be aware that Watford have won five of their last seven at home, including against Spurs, and pushed Manchester United all the way. However, the Hornets will hope Liverpool don't resume normal service straight after the international break.

Watford v Liverpool (15:00 GMT)
Liverpool have only conceded five goals this term meaning a clean sheet this afternoon would establish a defensive club record for this stage of a top-flight campaign.
Apparently oblivious to all that, the Reds boss, Jurgen Klopp, had a bit of a laugh about it all when he was told.

Who fancies a little bit of Watford v Liverpool? Good - you're in the right place and I hope you're looking forward to this as much as me.
These two teams have banged in 40 Premier League goals between them so far....
More of the same today would do nicely.
