Molineux hosting the Wounded Reds
Starting XI: Kelleher, Milner, Gomez, Konate, Tsimikas, Bajcetic, Thiago, Keita, Elliott, Carvalho, Gakpo.
Subs: Alisson, Fabinho, Salah, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Robertson, Matip, Phillips, Doak.
Liverpool make eight changes for tonight’s Emirates FA Cup third-round replay at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Caoimhin Kelleher starts in goal, while James Milner, Joe Gomez and Kostas Tsimikas come into the back four.
Stefan Bajcetic and Naby Keita begin in midfield, while Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho are named in attack.
Great job on the OP as always, Clint.
I'm happy with all the changes, in fact I would have liked to see Phillips on for Konate and maybe Jones for Thiago, but it may be that neither of these are fit to go 90. Hopefully we see both come on at some point (to save the legs of Thiago and Ibby as well).
I wonder if this is going to be more of a 4-5-1 in practice, but whatever the formation it is absolutely a chance for those coming in to make a statement to their manager. Let's hope many of them use tonight to do just that. (and by "statement" I mean like "I can do a job, Gaffer. Pick me more often" rather than "I'm here to remind you why you pick the other guy instead of me.")
Would be so nice to get a little sunshine tonight.
