      We just aren't going to score a goal with Ings and Solanke up there so we've got to go full strength in terms of the front three. Any rotation should at full back/midfield.

      So we draw the game, is that the end of the world if it means no injuries to our front three?

      Anyone else noticed that Sky were advertising the game with a split screen of Sturridge and Mane?
      Not sure if Sky don’t realise Sturridge can’t play or whether they figure nobody outside of West Bromwich would be able to identify anyone in the squad other than him!!!

      Just novelty value of seeing him in a kit I think mate.

      Think it could be tougher than people think, because most players won't be diving in for a lot or taking risks and  West Brom will be on a confidence high against United with no pressure since they are already relegated. We can win but it's not going to be a walk in the park.

      I just don't see the need to rotate our attack to include both Solanke & Ings. Maybe one but definitely not two. They couldn't get close to scoring against Everton and can't see them pulling it off in this game either.

      Start strong and bring off players accordingly.

      Put out strongest side for this one. As JD mentioned earlier, I don't much fancy the idea of the key players getting a 10 day break  between Tuesday and their last game. Far more likely to lose rhythm and momentum that way.

      WBA still have a mathematical chance of staying up so they won't lie down easy. Players have to play their normal game and can't stand off. Might actually be more risk not being fully committed. I mean I know you are well aware of all aspects regarding our approach to this game but if we don't approach it in the right frame of mind it could cost us.

      Hard to predict the side for this one.
      Maybe start with similar side to Everton, but bring on the big guns if not going so great.
      Ings and Solanke were poor in that game, could be doing with them playing better to take some of the pressure off the others.
      WB beat Utd so in theory this shouldn't be a pushover. But its hard not to feel confident.

      I'd settle for a draw (tho ideally win), rest the big guns, and come thro with no injuries for the big SEMI!! :)

      This guy got it right last time, think he has inside info.

      Yup and that line-up actually makes a lot of sense...put AOC and Bobby on the bench as a break glass.  I hope Ings plays in the middle I think he would be better there than out on a wing.

      Was just going to ask which of Mo, Sadio and Danny would go in the middle if that lineup is correct. I understand saving Bobby for midweek, but does the system call for Ings to be like an extra midfielder as well, or is that just what Bobby does? It makes such a difference when Bobby is on.

      Is Ings compatible with the other two. Might seem a bit insulting to him to suggest our type of intricate attacking play might not gel with his game. He is a poacher essentially. Booby is a vital gog in our attacking line up and I'm not sure breaking it for this game is the right time.

      Ings will get a hat trick, of that there is no doubt..lets hope he does as well...shut me up..

      Genuinely dislike twitter accounts posting team info in advance of the official announcement. We all know Klopp has been pissed off with twitter wankers announcing the squad in advance which is why he erected so many more screens during training. It's only done to get more followers while being potentially damaging to the team as a whole.

      AnfieldExpress whoever he is can get fu**ed.

      But that then means Bobby out wide and he never really plays well in such circumstances, which usually means we struggle up front.

      No I think it means Bobby does not play and if break glass occurred then I would have to assume Ing's would go in a mane/salah position as he did the last time when he and Solanke played.

      Gone for a 2  0 win against West Brom, being a bit more confident about the defence. It is also important not to let Chelsea close the gap, making sure of a top four finish.

      Well I hope for a few things:
      - we rest a few key players
      - we put in a focused and committed performance with those playing giving the boss a selection headache for Tuesday
      - that we win this game within 60 mins and can take the foot off
      - that there aren’t any key injuries.
      - that we win 3-0 with some some confidence needing goals from Ings, solanke and Alberto!
