(Reuters) – According to manager Juergen Klopp, Liverpool is prepared to take the FA Cup seriously and is looking forward to challenging on multiple fronts this season, even if it means a demanding schedule. The Premier League leaders will face Arsenal, who have claimed the FA Cup 14 times, in a third-round match on Sunday. Together, these two clubs hold 22 FA Cup trophies, making them some of the most successful in the competition.
In the 2021-22 season, Liverpool’s attempt at securing an unprecedented quadruple of trophies was thwarted when Manchester City clinched the Premier League title by a single point. Nonetheless, Liverpool managed to secure victories in the League Cup and FA Cup, defeating Chelsea in both finals.
With Liverpool already in the League Cup semi-finals and the Europa League round of 16 this season, Klopp is eager for his team to go as far as possible in the FA Cup competition.
Klopp shared with reporters, “The season with the three finals and a really intense Premier League season was intense while we were in it, but it was good fun as well, to be honest. It was good fun the games the boys played, the two finals against Chelsea were two of the best draws I saw in my life – unbelievably intense, technically at a super-high level – so it was a wonderful experience.”
He added, “Playing at Wembley is a top experience. I would not change it for anything. It was absolutely great. But no, you cannot really think like that (the impact on next season). We cannot go out of a competition just because we think we might have a problem next year. That would be a problem we have to sort then.”
