Jurgen Klopp’s team is currently fourth in the Premier League standings after winning seven of their first ten games of the new season.
The Reds’ most recent Carabao Cup victory, a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth, set up a quarterfinal matchup with West Ham United in December.
When the Hatters play, who have only triumphed once since rejoining the premier league, Klopp will be hoping that his team can maintain its current winning streak.
But in the lead-up to the game, it seems as though the German might lose one of his most seasoned players soon.
Football Insider reports that Thiago Alcantara, a midfielder, will be leaving Anfield at the end of the current campaign because his contract is up.
The Brazilian came to Liverpool three years ago from German champions Bayern Munich, but he has had a string of ailments throughout his stay on Merseyside.
The 32-year-old has played 97 games for Klopp’s team overall in all competitions, but he has been sidelined for the entire season due to a hip injury that he sustained earlier in the season.
Since Thiago hasn’t played for Liverpool since April, it is now anticipated that he will leave the team when his contract ends in the summer.
Liverpool completely revamped their midfield during the summer transfer window, losing Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and James Milner.
Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Ryan Gravenberch were all brought in as replacements, but it is possible that one more of Klopp’s more seasoned players will go in the upcoming months.
