      In the grand scheme of things this trophy is more winnable than say the Champions League. Klopp does need some silverware.

      I would have some strength in this team. We're at Anfield. We should make sure we can go through.

      No Migs for me. Why risk it when we have a much better keeper who we don't need to rest at all. Other than that, I'm fine with resting our better players, and give the other lads some minutes:

      Alisson
      Clyne, Gomez, Matip, Moreno
      Fabinho, Keita, Henderson
      Shaq, Studge, Brewster
      crouchinho

      Did NOT think Markovic would be in anyone's line up! No chance for him in my books - he's utter sh*te.

      Sturridge, Shaqiri, Fabinho and Keita all should probably be in the starting line up. Would be nice to see the likes of Jones and Phillips, too.

      Really want to win this one - we're seven wins straight and have the squad to challenge for every competition we're in.

      Lovren fit for this one?


      Would love that. Defo deserved after his preseason. Lotta fellas we can bring in and have high hopes of a good result, what a place to be.

      He's been full training the last few weeks so i figure this game is as good as any to get him a few minutes

      Sound. I know he'd been pictured in training but hadn't really looked up any details about where he was at.

      Not really sure what to suggest for changes, rotation etc, just know we’ve got to win this comfortably. That will take the wind out of their sails for up coming Prem game. We change to much and lose it, they will gain loads of confidence for Prem.
      I think we go strong, get it won, then make a couple of changes.
      No harm in starting the likes of Shaquiri and Studge. Keita and possibly Lovren and Clyde. They all have experience st this level, but the youngsters can be given minutes about 70 mins in, as long as we are well ahead !
      Can’t wait to see what sort of side Jürgen puts out.

      I'd swap Origi for a free lunch based on preseason form....
      Depends, Subway, McDonald's or Burger King would seem a bit cheap. If it were a Wagamama it would be worth considering.

      Mignolet
      Clyne Matip Lovren Moreno
      Fabinho Keita Shaqiri
      Sturridge Solanke Origi

      If Lovren is unavailable then play Phillips. In all honesty if we lost this and end up winning at Stamford Bridge in the league I'll be happy.

      The above team need minutes and is still good enough to win.

      Go strong-ish, get it done by half time / early second half and then give some of the youngsters some minutes

      I know but simple simon needs a few minutes here and there to keep him match fit, he is for better or worse our #2 GK

      Haha, nice one. I would still play Simon not to freeze him. Hopefully, we do not need him apart in domestic Cups.

      Makes sense to start Migs. As a backup he should be getting the Carabao cup at the very least and potentially the FA cup. Like it or not, he is the #2 and he needs games so that if Alisson ever goes down to illness or injury we don't have a goalie coming in who has not played in a game all season.

      Well we won't be playing Mancheater United in the next round as they have just been booted out by Derby County....and Derby were by far the better team. Well done Frank Lampard and a great free kick goal by Harry Wilson.

      I would wager that Markovic is persona non grata as far as the manager is concerned and will never play for LFC again.
