Liverpool will head to a training camp in Spain following Saturday's meeting with Bournemouth.

As a result of their early FA Cup exit, the Reds have a 10-day break between this weekend's fixture against the Cherries and their trip to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United.

And Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that he and his squad will make the most of that time by flying out for another brief training camp.

He said: “We will go away for a couple of days just so that they can really focus on training, we don’t have to drive between sessions - home, here, things like that.

“Just a little change of scenery and do it again. It always worked out pretty well for me as a manager when I had the opportunity to do it.

“Being 100 per cent focused, having a couple of meetings… We would have done it if we were 10 points off, so that’s exactly the same.

“We do it because we have time and can do it because we play a Champions League game a week later.”

Standard Sport understands that Klopp and co will fly out to Spain for their next training camp, which comes hot on the heels of a similar stint in Dubai.

The Reds spent a number of days in the Middle East following their 4-3 victory over Crystal Palace at Anfield on January 19.

However, they have dropped points in both fixtures since that brief getaway - drawing 1-1 with Leicester City and West Ham United.
