      Ah great VAR will have one less penalty issue to look after.  >:D

      Don't think he couldn't take a dive in the stand or in the dugout and convince a Premier League referee to award a penalty. He has strange and mysterious powers. In fact he could trip over the sidewalk returning home from a bar at 2 a.m. and Jon Moss would award a penalty.

      Seen they were out training on Stanley Park last night.

      I think this will be a tough game, we are at home so I'm hoping for the 3 points, but Wilder has done a top job with these.
      These are a good outfit and will pose more problems then Wolves IMO.

      Go as strong as we can (maybe 2 changes) & rotate for the cup is what I'd want; I expect Klopp to think the same.

      Everybody knows this will be a tough game, hard working side with a  gritty manager,our 1-0 win away had a bit of luck their keeper dropped a bollock we did however miss a barrel load, so a bit more clinical with the chances we make  and its  another 3 pts in the bag.

      I can see Origi starting up front with Salah or Mane on the bench. Should be a strong line up tonight with the opportunity to rest certain players in the FA cup on Sunday.
      A hard fought 2-1 win for the Red men.

      Big game for me this one looking ahead to some pretty tough fixtures.

      Spurs away, United at home then Wolves away, you have to expect a bit of damage in amongst there.

      Get this one won, because we might need some of our cushion down the line.

      Full strength squad I would assume for this one. Be interested to see who gets in the midfield though. Thought Lallana did a hell of a job the last game, but will he make the starting 11?

      most important game of the year mate. Seriously if we can keep the pressure up until the CL comes around I can see City conceding the league to concentrate on the CL until they meet us

      Looking like it’s going to be much the same team that started against Wolves. Maybe Keita in for Lallana.

      I think the lads are going to be up for this one after the Wolves game was a bit flat.
      As good as Sheffield UTD have been when we click no team can live with us just ask Leicester. Fancy Mo to score a couple tonight

      Not concerned at all, if they were that good,they wouldn't be the best part of 30 points behind us at the halfway point would they, with a GD of + 4 to our+33

      You may have it. The only other I'm wondering about is Gini who looked shattered at the end of Sunday. Since Lallana came out early then, I wonder if Keita comes in for Gini and Adam stays in. Obviously Milner is another option.

      I guess we'll find out in about 20 minutes. Come on Boys!

      Hopefully we see a significant step up in performance from Salah tonight, the 2 games in Qatar and the 2 games since he’s been way below what we’ve come to expect from him. Based on the last few performances, think there should be question marks on whether he starts ahead of Origi. Usually if he’s having an off game he still does a job of making the defenders work and open space but he’s not even done that in the last 2 games. We looked far better against Leicester when he had been taken off.

      His touch has been poor and some of his attempts on goal have been bizarre.

      Is Minamino available for this? Doubt we will see him but he’s officially our player now.
