Jurgen Klopp insists Paris Saint-Germain will be far from his thoughts when he picks his line up to face Tottenham at Wembley.

The Reds will get their Champions League campaign underway against the star-studded French champions at Anfield on Tuesday night but Klopp won't hold anyone back for that contest.

"It makes no sense to think now about the PSG game because we have no clue anyway who will be ready for that," Klopp said.

"So we play the Tottenham game and then we have at least two days to think about that game.

"It is about different things – how fit is he? How is he in training? It's the competition, the opposition, it's a lot of things."

Saturday's clash with Spurs kicks off a run of seven games in three competitions across 22 days.

It will test the depth of Klopp's squad and he has urged those on the fringes to be ready to step up.

"There are a lot of talks with the players," he added.

"Sometimes the players say 'ah, I feel the intensity a bit', but most of the time they all say they feel completely fine. That doesn't help at all but it's the job to do.

"Sometimes there is a problem and we have that a little bit with lacking rhythm because we played the first four weeks with the same players but then they left for international duty.

"Shaq (Xherdan Shaqiri) played two games which is good for him and Dom (Solanke) played as well, so they all have more minutes and that's good.

"The players agreed to be part of a good squad - that means not all of them can start constantly.

"But the better you perform, the more likely it is you will play. And the fitter you are, the more likely you play again. So that all that affects (my selection).

"The higher the level is of all the players, the easier it is for me to change things. The Carabao Cup, maybe we can think about a lot of changes.

"We've done that in other cup games but now it's Chelsea. Can you go like that against Chelsea and say 'don't care'?

"For people it's really easy: he has to change, he has to do that. But we respect the opponent, we respect the competition, and we will line up a strong side for sure.

"How many changes we will make between games, I don't know at the moment."
