Hide AdIt will be their 12th game in 38 days having progressed into the Champions League final and FA Cup final - where they face Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday.
Klopp could rotate his side from Saturday's 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur. The likes of Kostas Tsimikas, Naby Keita and Joel Matip may start.
The Liverpool boss said: “It's a challenge, to be honest. Very often, the decisions get easier with all the information I get from the medical department because then I don't have to choose from all of them, only a few.
“In the short periods between the games, I didn't get the final information.
“When I leave here, I'll go to the medical department and collect some more then we will see.
“Is it difficult? It's challenging, that's it.”
