After his team wins the Carabao Cup on Sunday afternoon, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp thinks it will be more difficult for his team to accomplish the quadruple because of their schedule.
At Wembley Stadium, a diminished Reds team performed brilliantly to hold off Chelsea. Virgil van Dijk’s header in extra time made Mauricio Pochettino’s team pay late in the game. The victory sealed the League Cup for the Reds. With Liverpool still having a genuine opportunity to win the Premier League, FA Cup, and Europa League this season, talk has already shifted to the quadruple.

Focus on the other domestic cup competition begins almost immediately for Liverpool with Championship side Southampton heading to Anfield on Wednesday night in the fifth round. When asked by BEIN SPORTS about the prospect of ending his Reds career with four trophies, Klopp admitted it would be difficult.
The head coach from Germany clarified, saying, “They scheduled the FA Cup’s next round just three days after a final because nobody in our nation wants to watch a quadruple champion. How we can line up on Wednesday is beyond me.
“Maybe Southampton will benefit from that or not, we shall see. I have no idea who we can line up, somebody who can wear a Liverpool shirt could play against Southampton.”
Liverpool’s bid to win their second Premier League title under Klopp is set to go down to the wire with the Reds currently top by just one point after Manchester City won their game in hand on Saturday. Meanwhile, Klopp’s men will face Sparta Praha in the Europa League round of 16 which begins a week on Thursday.
