"This game tonight matters like you wouldn’t believe. We want to win it with all we have. But the situation and circumstances cannot be ignored," Jurgen Klopp told the Reds' official website ahead of the League Cup clash against Arsenal.
"Pep Lijnders spoke at the press conference ahead of the Lincoln City game and when a question hinted it would be impossible to win the Carabao Cup if we tried again for the Premier League and Champions League, he spoke for all of us at LFC when he said, 'We will try'.
"And that’s the truth. We will try and give everything while trying. Can we promise success? No! Can we make success happen by simply saying something about it? No! But we can try.
"Tonight will be hard – super hard. Again, without sounding like an Arsenal fan, I really love their squad and I love what they do at the moment.
"But I love us more. I love what we do. I love what we stand for and how we approach our work. I love the humility of our approach and our commitment to be better in each given moment."
Liverpool are set to face Arsenal at Anfield in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Thursday night.
The two sides have already played against each other twice this season. The Gunners beat the Reds in a penalty shootout in the Community Shield clash while Klopp's side got their revenge on Monday, defeating the opponents 3-1 in on the Premier League matchday 3.
