Curtis Jones scored twice as Liverpool thrashed West Ham 5-1 at Anfield to set up a Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham.
The midfielder struck Liverpool's second and fifth goals, adding to Dominik Szoboszlai's long-range stunner, a precise finish from Cody Gakpo and a breakaway strike by substitute Mohamed Salah.
Jarrod Bowen scored a consolation goal for West Ham but the scoreline reflected the one-sidedness of the contest, with Liverpool registering 29 shots on goal to the visitors' two.
The win pits Liverpool against Fulham in the last four of a competition they have won a record nine times, with Middlesbrough facing Chelsea in the other tie. It also serves as a perfect warm-up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Arsenal
The comfortable lead allowed Klopp to make changes in order to keep legs fresh for Saturday's game against Arsenal and one of his substitutes, Salah, made an immediate impact when he put Elliot through on goal, only for the midfielder's shot to be saved.
