Klopp insists motivation not an issue for his side despite grueling schedule
Liverpool have seven more matches to play in a congested December and boss Jurgen Klopp has told his players to take it one game at a time.
Jurgen Klopp has insistsed keeping his Liverpool players motivated is not an issue as they are "ambitious like crazy" in their pursuit of major honours on multiple fronts.
The Reds are eight points clear at the top of the Premier League and require a point from Tuesday's trip to Salzburg to guarantee a place in the last 16 of the Champions League, a competition they won last season.
Liverpool will compete in the Club World Cup later this month and are also through to the last eight of the EFL Cup, with the fixtures coming thick and fast in the final month of the year.
Klopp has urged his players to take it one game at a time, starting with their big showdown against Salzburg, who need all three points to qualify.
Liverpool will play their third game of the month on Tuesday and have five more to come - on two continents - before the end of the year.
Klopp reiterated that a lot is being asked of his players but is eager for them to enjoy the winning feeling.
"We know our schedule," he added. "We played a tough game two days ago. Six days ago a very tough game. We don't expect drops, we don't accept drops, the boys as well.
"We ask ourselves for highest concentration. We are in the most intense period of our lives but we will try to enjoy. It is difficult, no doubt about that, but it's not something that can stop us."
