Liverpool Subs: Adrian, Konate, Diaz, Mac Allister, Scanlon, Gordon, Nallo, Danns, Nyoni.

Elsewhere, Bobby Clark and James McConnell are handed places in the XI following their impressive cameo performances at Wembley.

Love this team!!

COYR

Let's get them. YNWA Kopites Kids.

You can't deny having the chance to see some youngsters in a proper competative game is a great time... but this many starting is wild, I CANT WAIT! 

Well!!!!
Glad Kelleher is in - the talk of Adrian was worrying me.
Good mix of experience and youth. The young lads are well capable.
No groaning or calling them crap etc tonight please. They're on a learning curve and no one is perfect. (Not even some of the posters on here )

2-0 to us
And Forest or ManURE in the next round - BRING IT ON!

More than capable...get into them....

Anybody fancy having a go at how we’re lining up?

United or Forrest away if we win

Strong keeper, strong back 4.just what's needed to springboard the attack. Going to get the full SP on these younger players. Love to see Nyoni and Danns get on at some stage.

2-0

Virg playing again ... captain for ya. But ideally I'd have preferred he didn't. Don't even want to see konate come on ... with his muscle issues.

Hopefully score 1 or 2 early. Control it and make changes.

United or Forrest away if we win

F**k sake

Anybody fancy having a go at how we’re lining up?

Bradley at RW or that’s a back 5

Bradley at RW or that’s a back 5

That was my thought as well

What a great opportunity for the kids!!  They must be feeling so confident after the recent League Cup win!! 

I'm sure Southampton will be trying to get stuck into the young lads early.  If I was Jürgen, I would tell them to anticipate some rough play and sh*t-housery and use any opportunity to go down a d take a foul.  Use their tactic of getting physical against them. 

What’s actually wrong with Nunez and Salah? Will be at least two weeks out for the pair of them and that’s if they’re back on Saturday.

Hope the kids do us proud again.

Hope the young mids are well coached in defensive duties as well as attacking.
Happens with youngsters trying so hard to impress with Adrenalin bursting through their head.
Expect Jürgen to keep a close eye on them, and the senior players !
COME ON YOU RED MEN (BOYS)

Can you imagine, saints players are not gonna want to lose to kids !

What’s actually wrong with Nunez and Salah?

Think Salah was a recurrence of his hamstring wasn't it.

That was my thought as well

According to ITV they've got him part of the front three.

Southampton have made 8 changes since their league game on the weekend. Looks like they might be sacrificing the competition for promotion?

Hopefully makes our job a tad easier.

Think Salah was a recurrence of his hamstring wasn't it.

Didn’t Klopp allude to it being fatigue? The way he explained it anyway didn’t sound like an injury as such but it’s sometimes hard to pick up with Klopp because he’s intentionally so vague.

I am really curious as to what is going on though, it really does seem completely out of the ordinary how many absentees we have. Robbo ill apparently.

Get through this and potentially Man U or Forest awaits.

Come on Red Kids

Can't wait to see these young lads play again.
