Huddersfield are heavy underdogs against Liverpool on Friday evening
And Jurgen Klopp has said he wont overthink his team selection for the game.
Speaking to the media on Thursday, he said: “This would probably be the last game where I would overthink anything.
“Because it’s always the same, the situation they are in and the things people think about the game is already enough bad preparation, so I will not push that wrong mindset with a strange line-up or whatever. No chance.
“We had enough time to recover after the last game, we have enough time to recover for the next game. Barcelona has nothing to do with the game on Friday night.”
