Jurgen Klopp insists that Liverpool have the strength in depth to put a strong showing in the Carabao Cup.
Despite Liverpool being under the pressure of a first Champions League run in three years this season, Klopp has told the press that Liverpool will not go to Leicester with a "white flag".
"From today's perspective, yes [we can deal with playing on multiple fronts] - we will see how it is in January.
"What is my alternative? To go to Leicester with a white flag? Or say, 'If you want to go to the semi-finals in January, then do it because we don't want to be part of it'?
"We had a few line-ups and everything was good in the last few years when we went through this competition in different games and then, at one point, we didn't have the opportunity to line up the strongest side and [people said I did not] respect the cup competitions," Klopp added.
"That's obviously not so nice. In this moment, we have the players for it and I think the squad is wide enough to play in different competitions and to come as far as possible and that's the plan at the moment.
"We are really there to win the game. It will be difficult enough but this competition is good. The final was good when we played there, the semi-final last year with Southampton [came at] the wrongest possible moment but we couldn't change that.
"We will see how it is in January but, in this moment, I feel quite comfortable when I think about different opportunities to use the players and to bring the players in different games."
