"I don't know when we face a similar challenge next, all the other games are now different, especially the next one," Klopp told reporters.
"But super-positive the boys (are) on, Curtis is back, Robertson is really helpful, Harvey (Elliott) too. Cody was not out but a really good game (for him), which he needed.
"Really pleased and that helps obviously. Nobody got injured already as far as I know today, so recovery started already and now we recover and go again.
"Wataru Endo will be fit. We rested him today, we had a feeling if we leave him out then there is a big chance for Sunday. I hope that didn't change."
Liverpool lead the league by two points from Arsenal with reigning champions Manchester City a point further back.
