"Yes, it's true that the break is good, but I would also like some players like Harvey Elliott, Jarell Quansah, Federico Chiesa to play some games," the Liverpool coach stated.

The coach added: "For Virgil Van Dijk and Mo Salah and the other players, the break is very well deserved."

Liverpool continues to lead the Premier League with 67 points, 13 more than Arsenal who are second. /Telegraph/
