That's a great mix for the squad.

I'm not happy. I want the squad to be rotated to prove opportunities for the youth.

Would have liked to see Suso, but happy for Sterling! The way flanno & Kelly have become 1st teamers I hope this is a springboard for the lad. About time a youth player came through that gets all the headlines / scares managers across the prem!

Would like to see spearing get a good run, he's been unlucky not to feature so far.

No Ngog, or Cole a few more absentees as well. Going to be a very interesting week.

Can't believe the amount of shouts for Suso. You need to earn the callup on merit and he certainly hasn't been good enough. He has to improve and work to get that.

Sterling clearly has earned and I wouldn't of fussed if Wisdom also was called up. They have been the standouts.

Glad to see Kenny is taking this serious though, this is a great chance at a Cup and we can't afford to slip up.

Cmon Redmen!!

Went forthe first team in the vote as they need game time together.

I wouldn't want Suarez and Enrique playing tbh.

I reckon it's gonna be a 4-4-2 tonight.

I voted for the First Team at the top so I'm happy with the look of the squad.  Still expect the starting XI to feature the younger players, but happy that the club look to be taking this seriously.

And so they should.

I would like to see Spearing and Henderson in the middle and Maxi and Sterling play on the wings. Would really benefit them getting playing time and also help Hendo and Sterling get accustomed to their natural position in the first team.

Right that's it I want everyone rested, we could be in he champions league tomorrow 

I'll be in a company Pictionary game during the match. Not joking. Pretty upset, although winning a free lunch from "Five Guys" could be worth it

Hope Raheem makes his debut in a F***ing rout

I'll be in a company Pictionary game during the match.

Watching the local, south west news and they're call it the biggest game in years. Shows how bad south west football is. Exeter deserve to get demotlated today. Hope to see a strong side, and I think we'll win very easily !!!!

Surprised to see only 10% wanting the first team out today.

bollox we need a team to win the game.Strongest team possible and if we get the chance later bring the kids on then.

Agreed we need to field our best team EVERY game we dont have European games so this is a very important game.Regardless of the opposition we should get used to winning every game.

Very strong line-up for #LFC tonight. Sterling not involved despite speculation on Twitter. Full line-up shortly.

Eight changes in total #LFC

- Jimmy Rice

Liverpool XI: Reina, Flanagan, Skrtel, Wilson, Robinson, Spearing, Adam, Henderson, Meireles, Maxi, Suarez.
Subs: Doni, Enrique, Carroll, Kuyt, Downing, Carragher, Shelvey.

Hope the players don't go out distracted by what's going on about the CL.

Thing is, I would want the players fresh and ready for the next game..And it wouldn't be nice if our best players get injured in this sort of game imo.

But I do see your point. It'll help gel the team as well as morale.

No sterling?

Strong team though

COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!!!!

Liverpool XI: Reina, Flanagan, Skrtel, Wilson, Robinson, Spearing, Adam, Henderson, Meireles, Maxi, Suarez.

Happy enough with that although the back line looks a bit weak - still, the midfield and attack look strong

Looks like 4231 to me with Adam and Spearing in the holding/playmaker roles, Henderson and Maxi on the flanks and meireles behind Suarez
