      With Champions League football back at Liverpool then this will obviously take less importance, but the reds have reached the last 4 in each of the last 3 seasons.  Lost the final against City in 2016 and it's the last trophy the club has won.

      Bit unfortunate to be handed an away tie against a Premier League side in the 3rd round but fingers crossed the kids get a result.

      Will Ings be fit enough to start? I'd personally Have Studge start, then when we are 5-2 up, get him off and get Ings on for his hattrick.

      i would have;
         Solanke  Ings   Woodburn

      Ings is more a central player but Solanke and Woodburn are probably just as good on the wing.

      Been playing for the U23's so I assume he'd be good enough for at least a half.

      I'd give Woodburn and Solanke a start.
      The only way to play Leicester on their own patch is to play them at their own game and kick f**k out of them..
      None of this fancy fanny passing across the back ,we've gotta get stuck in and take a few bruises because you can put a weeks wages on that fact that will be exactly what they'll be doing..
      Someone needs to put that little sh*t Vardy on his ass in the first five minutes and let him know who we are..

      Not looking forward to this at all but If we show some knuckle we're in with a chance..

      Take it this is knockout with no replay?

      Would like to see Gomez given a go in centre of defence, if Vardy plays it will be a real test for him and would be interesting to see how he copes.

      Grujic, Ox and Woodburn should be starting.

      I see no reason not to go strong here.



      That team is good enough to win and all players need minutes. Wijnaldum didn't play Saturday so he comes in and neither did Lovren or Moreno.

      Yeah I like that team, it rests quite a few of the key players, but I'd maybe play Coutinho, he needs some more game time to shake off the rust.

      Karius; Flanagan, Gomez, Klavan, Moreno; Wijnaldum, Milner, Grujic; Ox, Solanke, Woodburn.

      Should be able to make 11 changes from that if needed for the league game at the weekend. Hopefully a few of them impress enough though to keep their place.

      Well we won't be winning the two big prizes so i'd say this is as good a chance as any for a bit of glory.

      Going for a 3-2 win.

      Not sure what planet you've been on, but Mane is suspended.
      Even if he weren't he would probably be rested tomorrow.

      Had a feeling Ward would start, but would also be a bonus if Ings started, get him involved with the first team again.

      Although I've changed my mind now.  Might be an opportunity for our record club signing Chamberlain to have a kick about.

      I'm hoping we play a diamond with Sturridge and Solanke upfront, and think Matip needs a break!

      Woodburn
      Wijnaldum Chamberlain

      Moreno Klavan Lovren Gomez

      It'll be a tough game this. Im expecting us to rest a few players and for Leicester to go full strength. This is a competition they should be looking at winning and getting back to playing European football.  I can't stand that inbred kid Jamie Vardy, don't know if its my imagination but he always seems to cause us all kinds of problems him.  I know I probably will, but Im praying that I don't see either of Lovren or Klavan.

      I would like klopp to go with this:

                                    Karius

                   Taa   Gomez    Matip     Robertson

                                   Grujic

                           Gini            Milner

                                     Ox

                           Ings       Solanke
