But Klopp is waiting to find out the extent of injuries to top-scorer Salah and defensive talisman Van Dijk, who were both forced off at Wembley on Saturday.
Liverpool had to settle for a point from Saturday's clash with Spurs, one which moved them above Manchester City on goal difference in the points table but having played a game more.
With the Reds' second goal in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Villarreal, Sadio Mane became the third player to net 20 times for the club this season, emulating Mohamed Salah - who teed up the strike for his fellow attacker - and Diogo Jota.
In the Premier League standings, Liverpool are 25 points ahead of defending champions Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Liverpool notably had four of their players in the top 10 and six in the top 20.
Along with the English Premier League, where Liverpool are sitting pretty at the top of the table without losing a match yet, they will take part in the Club World Cup starting December 11 in Qatar.
Had Van Dijk clinched the 2019 Ballon d'Or, he would have become the first defender to achieve the feat since Fabio Cannavaro in 2006.
Meanwhile, Lionel Messi bagged his sixth Ballon d’Or award, becoming the most successful player since the inception of the award.
To put things into perspective, two more votes in favour of Virgil van Dijk would have made him the winner of the coveted award.
