Pre Match: Derby County V Liverpool FC Tuesday 20th Sept: 7.45pm

Can see maybe 5 changes from Chelsea game

Migs, Cout, Studge, Mane, Matip / Lovren

But lets get in , smash 3 before half time, and get the flock out

Keep Mignolet and the back four in. We need to work on our defending and this fixture might give us that bit of practice. Matip and Lovren need to build on their partnership. Clyne & Milner both have phenomenal engines and won't be affected by a midweek game.

I'd like to see Grujic get some minutes and I think the three of Lallana, Hendo and Wijnaldum have all earned the night off after the shift they put in on Friday night. I like Origi but I really hope Jürgen goes with Ings instead. 



I'd go with:

               Mignolet

Clyne   Matip   Lovren  Milner

                Lucas
        Stewart     Grujic
Mane                          Coutinho

                 Ings

Forgot beIN did the Cup. Lovely!

Confirmed that's on 5am kick off.....yay.

Don't mind it on a weekday. Can wake up, see Liverpool win and go to work/uni and have a great rest of the day

Talk to the husband?

Na F**k that I bet your thinking!

Haha that would be OK but he's on lates this week mate 

Its a tough one because i'm sure there's  a few on the fringes at the moment who want a run out, and i'm sure Klopp would like to give a few of his starting players a rest too.

However, I wouldn't change the full XI for this one, we have Hull at weekend which shouldn't be too physically demanding considering we will dominate the ball.

It is a big game for the us this one so i'd hate to crash out of this because we changed an entire team. Derby will probably have us if we do, do that because they are an okay side themselves and will be fighting for promotion I reckon again this season.

With no Europe there's no reason we shouldn't be doing everything we can to try and win this. It's been well to long for the club without a trophy.

Kodi beIN sports 11 and 7 in the UK.

Probably a good opportunity for some rotation but not too much. Bring in the likes of Origi, Moreno, Klavan (if fit), etc. Pretty confident we'll win this if we play like we have been.

I vote for more changes, not fewer. Three matches in eight days is still not optimal for top-flight players. Sometimes you have to do it, but this is not one of those times. Plus as Brian and others have mentioned, some of these squad players really need a game.

First LFC game in maybe more than a year that I haven't been able to watch live, or at least in full. Hopefully the official site puts the full match on afterward, but not sure about that.

Back in the 90s it was the old Internet Relay Chat (IRC) with someone in UK typing "commentary" in while Reds from around the world would stare at their computer screens breathlessly. :-) Seriously young-uns, we used to do that.

I do think there is live radio commentary on the official site, correct?

I know there's commentary on 5 Live of the game.

Jürgen has said he's putting out a strong side

A few players missing for Derby tomorrow;

Derby injury concerns

    Derby defender Jason Shackell and forward Johnny Russell will not regain fitness in time to feature against Liverpool in the EFL Cup. Both players missed Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Bristol City due to calf injuries and it is hoped they will be back in contention when Blackburn visit the iPro Stadium at the weekend. Rams boss Nigel Pearson will also be without Ikechi Anya and Matej Vydra, who are cup-tied, while striker James Wilson is a doubt. Wilson, on loan from Manchester United, sustained a knock on the knee against Bristol City which forced him off after an hour at Ashton Gate.

I imagine Alex Pearce will replace Shackell at CB, and I would hazard a guess that Andreas Weimann could feature on the LW instead of Anya. Missing Russell, Vydra and Wilson leaves Pearson with a choice of Bent, Camara and Blackman up top.

Reminds me of following the Ashes ball by ball on Ceefax in the 80s when we played them in Australia.

And no I don't expect you to understand Rob   

The U23 starting line up v Spurs tonight (currently 4-0 up)



Bench: Garcia, Firth, Phillips, Lennon, Brewitt

Can't see Stewart, Brannagan or Alexander-Arnold featuring tomorrow, but Lucas, Ings and Ejaria noticeable omissions.

Surely a strong side against Derby, tomorrow night. Do not want to be defeated by a lower division club, at any stage of the competition.

And Randall mate.

You're right, my mistake!

You're right, my mistake!

No mistake mate, he's not the most memorable of players even if he's the steady Eddie type

Nothing wrong with a steady Eddie... just ask Moreno!

How far away is Karius from playing for us? Did Klopp mention something?

Nothing wrong with a steady Eddie... just ask Moreno!

Steady Eddies are fine but maybe not in a Jürgen Klopp team 

Good to see some of the contenders getting a run out tomorrow night.

Don't know what you mean Debs?

With Ings and Ejaria omitted from the U23's I would expect them both to get a starting spot.

 Wijnaldum looked out on his feet at the end of the match against the Chavs so Possibly Grujic may see some action tomorrow.
