Jurgen Klopp will have his Liverpool players in for training at Melwood on Christmas Day morning.

However, the first-team players and staff will then be able to spend the rest of the day with their families before reporting to their usual pre-home game base at the city's Hope Street Hotel in the evening.

Klopp is keen to ensure that the title-chasing Reds don't deviate too far from their usual routine ahead of the visit of Newcastle United to Anfield on Boxing Day.

Liverpool could need 105 points to win the league, says Klopp

Left-back Andy Robertson confirmed: "It's training in the morning and then we will go home.

"A bit of turkey with the family and then back to the hotel to prepare.

"Christmas is a lovely time to spend with the family but for footballers we don't get to enjoy it as much as everyone else because we have hundreds of games. We look forward to Boxing Day and the next challenge."

Liverpool will be chasing an eighth successive Premier League win against Rafa Benitez's side.
