Brannagan has made one appearance for the Liverpool senior squad, as a substitute in their Europa League draw at Bordeaux.
Klopp added that he will make changes from his team which drew 1-1 with Southampton on Sunday.
"It's a very, very important game," he said.
"But I know we have a lot of games in the legs so we have to change.
"It's the most important cup in the world because it's the game we have to play tomorrow."
