Klopp, whose side face Watford on Monday Night Football, said: "We will go with pretty much everybody.

"They will all go there even if they don't play. They will be involved with other things.

"We are not sure, there are one or two [who could miss the trip] but that involves other things and not international call-ups. We will show the best faces of LFC.

"There is no final decision at this moment. What we can say is 100 per cent yes - we want to present Liverpool as good as possible and it makes sense to import these legends. They're really happy about it."
