The Liverpool squad will enjoy a 'normal Christmas Day' with their families after a morning training session on December 25, Jürgen Klopp has explained.

Having claimed a dramatic, stoppage-time victory over neighbours Everton at the beginning of the week, the Reds will end it on Sunday with more preparation for the visit of Stoke City to Anfield next Tuesday.

Once training has finished at Melwood, the players will return home for the festivities ahead of the resumption of their Premier League campaign.

“Tradition-wise, in Germany it’s a little bit different,” Klopp told Premier League Productions of the plans for himself and his players. “In Germany we celebrate Christmas on December 24.

“On December 25 we will train in the morning at 11am, so everyone will be home around about 1pm. From this moment on it will be a normal Christmas Day for all of us, maybe apart from the analysts! [Laughs]

“But for the rest of us, it’s a normal Christmas Day and we all will enjoy it with our families, which is how it should be.”
