Pre-match thread..Liverpool v Spurs League Cup 4th Rd 25/10/16 KO 7.45pm

Coming thick and fast these games as we have our 3rd home game in 9 days.

This time it's Tottenham Hotspur in the 4th Rd of the League cup, after thrashing Burton Albion and Derby County in the last two rounds, it won't be that easy this time against a Spurs side, who, although they only managed a draw against Bournemouth at the weekend, I'm sure they'll be well up for a fight 

Both teams will make changes I think, Jordan Henderson misses the game on a one match ban for a start and I'm sure we'll see a few fringe players, I'd love to see Danny Ings get a start as he's been smashing the goals in for the Under 23's, he deserves a go for me, we may even see Migs back in goal....who knows, sure to be an entertaining evening as I make my way to Anfield for the 3rd time in just over a week...may as well take me bed with me 

I'm in the new main stand on Tuesday, in the lower part, thank goodness I'm not up in the gods 
See those of you who are going for a pre match pint if you so wish, let's roar the Reds on to victory in what will be another step nearer Wembley 

For some reason I hadn't realised that this was a home game. Spurs will surely have to rotate their team, they've had somewhat of a busy schedule as of late with European games and what not. Part of me wants to see a few changes made to see some other lads get game time (TAA, Moreno, Grujic, Ings, Origi etc.) but part of me wants the team to remain as close as possible to our best 11. It's going to be interesting to see what line-up Klopp does go with.

I hope Sky have a better zoom on their cameras than BT Sport did .

Gonna absolutely flog them. Going with a 4-0 win.

Hopefully the lads get through the week without any injury and we can put out the same team.

EDIT: Jumped the gun. Thought this was the Palace thread. F**k it, we're still gonna win 4-0!

Even though we're flying high league wise this represents our best chance of winning a trophy this year.

I'd like to see Ings involved but its been Origi sitting on the bench not Danny so I'm not sure how that works?

Chance to rest the likes of Clyne and Milner, Hendo obviously suspended.

I imagine a few from the U23's like AAT and Grujic have a good chance of starting and Ings provably off the bench.

I think we should field our strongest team and let Spurs know before kick off that we intend to win this match and progress through to the next round.

Agree Billy 100% .

I'd like to see Ojo, Ings...

             Karius
      Matip        Lovren
Clyne       Can       Moreno
        Grujic    Gigi
             Lallana
        Ings      Origi

Good job I ain't manager  real life ain't exactly Fifa on amateur 

Thought this was a pretty funny comment from Klopp:

Should be a good game, yes we should rotate the players a bit, but so will Spurs. I fancy us to win and with the amount of prem on prem matches it should then be a good chance of perhaps winning this cup.

Loving the Boss, home we hammer these cu*ts as my mate Graham loves rubbing it in when we lose against them... Not answered his phone since the weekend .... Wonder why

Klopp: "It's likely there will be a few changes"

Thanks mate

This is our Europe really. No reason we should be looking at anything other than a strong team and to progress to the next round.

Been too long without a trophy for us, a win here keeps us in the hunt.

Will be a tough but open game I feel. Looking forward to it, and confident we can get through.

A rematch?

Tribal dancing and warfare.

What happened with that Sissoko elbow? He eligible to play in this cup match?

Facing a retrospective ban. Been charged with violent conduct.

I think he can play the game as he won't be handed his ban in time. I could be wrong.
