Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes that Jurgen Klopp's side can respond from their 3-0 defeat against Watford by selecting a stronger starting XI against Chelsea.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has backed the Merseyside club to come out stronger in their FA Cup match against Chelsea on Tuesday night after being beaten 3-0 by Watford at the weekend.

The former Liverpool defender suspects Jurgen Klopp will start a stronger side against the Blues, helping them to get back to winning ways ahead of their Premier League clash against Bournemouth on Saturday.

The 42-year-old told Liverpool Echo: "I think the Watford defeat might make Jurgen Klopp go stronger and go the other way against Chelsea.

"He'll need to make sure everyone is right for Bournemouth and thinking he needs to get that game won because after that comes tough fixtures with Everton and City away.

"I know I've said the league is won, and it is, but you don't want to go on a bad run of form and almost limp across the line towards the title.

"That will be in his head to get it done as quickly as possible, starting with a win at Bournemouth."

The Reds currently sit 22 points ahead of reigning champions Manchester City, with the Citizens boasting a game in hand after winning the EFL Cup against Aston Villa on the weekend.
