Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur: In game and Post Match discussion

Anfield tonight







Starting XI: Mignolet, Alexander-Arnold, Lucas, Klavan, Moreno, Stewart, Wijnaldum, Grujic, Ejaria, Origi, Sturridge

Subs: Karius, Clyne, Lovren, Can, Lallana, Mane, Ings

Liverpool make 11 changes for this evening's EFL Cup round of 16 fixture with Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is handed a senior competitive debut at right-back, while Ovie Ejaria makes his first start for the Reds in midfield.

There are also berths for the likes of Ragnar Klavan, Alberto Moreno and Marko Grujic, while Georginio Wijnaldum steps up his return from a hip injury with a place in the starting XI.

Wow, massive changes. Wasn't expecting that!

Very interesting line up but loving it. Why not grow these lads in. They have all been training under Klopp for a while now. They know the score.

Happy for Alexander-Arnold, Ejaria, Stewart and Grujic.

Vorm, Trippier, Carter-Vickers, Wimmer, Davies; Dier (c), Winks; Onomah, Carroll, Nkoudou; Janssen

This should be a beautiful game, both sides have a lot to play for.

No Ali?! Lovely!

Wow, massive changes. Wasn't expecting that!

I was expecting maybe 6 or so changes.  Interesting that we had a much stronger team out in the 2nd round, no?

Come on redmen (and boys).

Also is it 4-4-2? How traditional!?

Could be 433 if Ejaria plays wide?

Looking forward to this big chance to go through tonight

We have want is takes to beat them. YNWA

Interesting indeed JD... our reserves against theirs:  a cynic, looking at both line ups, could easily believe 'they' got together and declared-  "may the best B team win".

Can see mane & Ings coming on 2nd half...should be a cracking game though.

4-2

Jesus... we're really going for this league!

I don't mean that in a cynical way or a dig at this team... but it's got me excited!

Bring it on!!

Be good to see some of the young'uns.

A lot of changes for both sides. Should be interesting!

Looks that way doesn't it.  This some unwritten rule Premier League clubs have with each other?

Klopp says on the pre-game that after talking to Medical, he had some illnesses and tweaks and that's why there are so many changes. Take it or leave it.

I am looking forward to this game. ( Happy for Grujic and another young boys.)

Come on !

Grujic, Ejaria and Alexander-Arnold, how exciting!! Slightly disappointed in no Ings though!

Klopp showing he is seeing the Palace game at the weekend as the bigger event. Good times indeed.

On paper it looks like that neither manager gives a F**k about this competition

Wot No Ings?
