Liverpool's hopes of a quadruple are over following defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup. It leaves just two more trophies for the Reds to fight for including, of course, the Premier League.

The Reds are now out of action until the end of the month, with the international break taking center stage. Klopp will be keeping his fingers crossed his players come back from their duties fully fit.

Liverpool.com says: Getting knocked out of the FA Cup is a bitter blow, especially in the manner in which Liverpool went about things at Old Trafford. Having the international break to stew on that defeat will be tough, but it needs to drive the Reds on now in the league and Europa League. There are still two huge trophies to go for before Klopp calls time on his Anfield adventure.
