Liverpool will take on Porto at Anfield this evening, and the side is expected to rest players due to an early qualification to the last sixteen thanks to going unbeaten in Europe this season so far.
The reds have taken maximum points from their first four games in their group, currently seven points ahead of their opponents on Wednesday evening.
Klopp has hinted in his press conference that he will be resting players in the fixture that has no effect on the side's qualification in the tournament whether they win, lose or draw.
The German coach told the press;
"We always respect the competition but we have to think about ourselves, our schedule and the situation of our players first."
With Liverpool's injury crisis in mind - they are missing Curtis Jones and Naby Keita - there is one player that has been a hot favourite with fans for a start tonight in the European fixture. At just 19 years old, Tyler Morton is predicted to make his Champions League debut for the side ahead of the likes of Thiago and Fabinho.

Hailing him as "brilliant", Klopp heaped praise on the teenager a few weeks ago and talked about getting him ready for first-team football;
"You can see Tyler Morton, I told him now we pretty much have to send him directly to the gym now. Because if he gets a body, he’s a brilliant footballer.
"There’s obviously some things to come physique-wise, but the football brain is outstanding."
Morton is no stranger to the first team this season, putting in a confident performance against Norwich in the Carabao Cup when he came on in the second half, and more recently made his Premier League debut, when he was subbed on for Thiago Alcantara in the final six minutes of the game against Arsenal in which the side ran away with a 4-0 win.
The youngster is set to get his first opportunity in the starting line up against Porto tonight and will be hoping to prove to Klopp that he made the right choice in introducing him into the first team, which he can achieve with a measured display
Liverpool will be hoping to remain unbeaten in Europe with a win over Porto tonight, where the Portuguese side will be hoping to steal a win at Anfield to widen the gap in second place holding back AC Milan and Atletico Madrid from qualification.
