The Reds are now unbeaten in 17 games and will be glad to avoid a replay, as it gives them ample time to prepare for their next match: a titanic Premier League clash against leaders Manchester City.
Klopp and his men will certainly head into that difficult fixture full of confidence, having displayed an ability to win in both favourable and unfavourable circumstances over their past few fixtures. At present, it's all looking good for the Merseyside giants.
