'Hopefully we can bring it to a good end' - Gakpo

Having a squad with fewer injuries is "the biggest difference" for Liverpool this season as they compete on four fronts, says forward Cody Gakpo.

When they won the Carabao Cup last campaign, the Reds had the chance to send outgoing manager Jurgen Klopp off with a four-trophy haul, but ultimately finished with just the one.

Once again, they are still in with the chance of an unprecedented quadruple under new boss Arne Slot, topping the Premier League and Champions League tables and still active in both domestic cups.

Speaking before their final Champions League group stage game against PSV Eindhoven, Gakpo said: "I think the biggest difference is at this point last season we had a lot of injuries.

"Mo [Salah] was away for the Africa Cup of Nations so that didn't help and he injured himself over there too. Then we had Darwin [Nunez] out, Dominik [Szoboszlai] was out, Curtis [Jones] was out and Trent [Alexander-Arnold] was out as well., [Diogo] Jota and Alisson as well. So we had some problems last year which obviously didn't help.

"This year, at this point, almost everyone is fit. As a group you get more experience and you get more togetherness. We were growing last year and growing this year as well. Hopefully we can bring it to a good end."

PSV academy graduate Gakpo could start against his former side on Wednesday, something that he feels will be "pretty strange".

"I think I've never been in the away dressing room, so it will be the first time and [to be] on the other side of the walkout," he said. "But when the game starts, all those things will fade away and we will be focused.

"We are going for the win."
