Pre Match: Mansfield Town vs Liverpool (Sun 6th Jan K.O. 16:00 GMT)

Rumoured line-up:

Jones; Robinson, Carragher, Coates, Wisdom; Lucas, Allen, Shelvey; Downing, Sturridge, Suso

Very interesting if true, of course the start of Sturridge will capture most of the headlines but I'm very interested to see Robinson play again, lad hasn't been given nearly enough time in my opinion and hopefully he can impress. Considering that line-up contains a complete change as a back 5 we still look very strong and I'm expecting a strong display from the lads.

Going to go for 4-0 to us but massive respect to Mansfield for their gesture and that will long be remembered from my point of view.

I'd be delighted with that line up. Obvious Brendan has one eye on United next week but still thats a very strong team.

I find the inclusion of Lucas very intriguing. They must be happy that he's back to full fitness and the time off from the injury means he' fit and fresh enough to play the two games.

I think Luis will be a bit pissed if he has to sit this out ,he just wants to play ,thats his style he wants to play every minute of every game ,you only have to look at his face when he gets taken off ,to that extent him and Messi are identical because of their love of the game and desire to play ,thats why you see him hunting down balls that most other players would have given up on . Cmon you reds its fa cup day lets be having the next round.

As long as we apply ourselves and go out with the right attitude we should win comfortably 3.0.

Hats of to Mansfield for their gesture. Very nice.

Still got to beat them, but very nice.

Looking forward to Dre's first game in red.

Have we signed Dr Dre?

Hope our new man up front bags a few goals today. Come on you reds!

I'd be a happy camper if this line-up is confirmed. It's a strong team, and I'm looking forward to see Sturridge.

Good effort on he programme by Mansfield. I assume they don't exactly have a lot of money to spend on matchday programmes, that their funds are needed elsewhere.

If Sahin won't start today, then I really feel he is not in the managers plans

If he plays I assume it's about getting him back match fit and this is a perfect opportunity to get more time on the pitch.

Perfect time to get him injured agin more like... Pitch Is shocking so wouldn't play Lucas okay myself!

We might get a discount on the headphones , so expensive  they are .

Should win this one comfortably no matter what side we put out. Think we will keep a clean sheet and it's just a matter of how many goals we score. Going for a modest 2-0, but if the mood takes us we could score a hatfull.

Has Assaidi gone to the African Cup of Nations yet?

I'd be a happy camper if this line-up is confirmed. It's a strong team, and I'm looking forward to see Sturridge.

perfect game to introduce him, with goals on offer to get him off to a good start
