      Agree, there will be plenty of changes, you never know Danny Ings may make the bench.

      Apparently WBA are leaving 96 seats empty and the name of one of the 96 in each seat as a mark of respect.  Lovely touch.

      Flanagan/Randall
      Skrtel (c)
      Lucas (I prefer to play Ilori or Caukler but Klopp won't play them)
      Smith

      Stewart
      Branagan

      Ibe
      Teixeira
      Ojo

      Benteke

      I would rest Allen as well, he's major coming off the bench. Ojo also needs not to play more than 60 mins. We may need him as well.

      Nice gesture but it doesn't seem to be supported by a fair few on their forum, they see it as being a bit OTT.

      Clyne won't start, he started against Chelsea and will be rested until Sevilla. Might see Allen start though, maybe he will get 45 mins to keep him sharp.

      we need at least 1 first team player playing... and since both flanno and randall are awful i'd rather see clyne play.

      he's already played 50+ this season....

      Clyne will not play. It'll more than likely be Flanno at RB and Smith at LB with Skrtel and Lucas at CB.

      we don't need any first team players in this match. This match will be the last chance for our fringe players to show why they should remain at our club. The result of this game is insignificant compared to the reward of the Europa League.

      forgot to say, Flanno isn't awful. He's reasonable.

      11 changes for me

      And only put the likes of Couthino, Firminio, Sturridge on the bench if you think they may need a few mins of game time to 'keep warm'

      Rest the entire planned final's match day squad in my opinion.
      Just select a team in order to give those who are on the fringes of the squad, possibly being sold or those certain to be leaving a chance to have one last audition for next season, to say goodbye for the season or end out their lfc careers.

      Exactly that, except Cameron for JC Tex and Canos for Ibe. I really hope Hendo, Ings and Origi make it to the bench, the latter especially.

      He is. I read earlier that he'd be starting. If that's the case, then I think we'll see something like:

      Ward, Flanagan, Skrtel, Lucas, Smith, Stewart, Allen, Ojo, Ibe, Canos, Benteke.

      I'd love to see Brannagan start instead of Ibe though.

      Hate to qoute myself but if Ings or origi are fit enough I would add them to the bench or to start for 60 mins at most.
      Have to say that I am very excited to potentially see a fully fit  Ings perform
      for a klopp team.
      I honestly think he could be very very useful.

      Hopefully we can avoid losing this game 6-1. :)

      Play the youngsters and concentrate on getting the team ready for the Final.

      West Brom wouldn't know how to put the ball in their own net 6 times nevermind score 6 in ours.

      More I've been thinking about this the more I'm thinking 8th looks better than 7th.

      Potential play offs for the Europa League with West Ham, potential early start in qualifiers.

      If we don't win next week can't see the value in what could be potentially an extra 20 odd Europa League games.

      Reckon Southampton may be thinking similar too. Cant see them winning Sunday.

      Agree absolutely. I would rather sit out Europa next season if lose the final. PL and one domestic cup would do.  ;D

      I'm going to this match, but I'm not expecting too much, still be quite nice to get a win on the last day of the season though, like others have said, expecting the fringe players to play, Klopp won't risk anyone getting an injury only a few days before the final. Hopefully it will be a bit of a party atmosphere as we send the lads off safely to Switzerland.

      Come on you mighty redmen, something for a few to prove to Jürgen.
