Pleased to see Flanno back and good to see Lovren back on the bench.

I really hope Flanno has a good game. We've missed the lad.

Since we're looking at an aerial assault from Stoke, we have to press them hard and be aggressive in winning the second balls. Otherwise, it could be quite a shafting if we defend like we did against Norwich.

So just the 2 subs from the weekend then. One forced & one tactical.

I hope we're in for an easier match as fans than the weekends dramatics.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on the legendary cup atmosphere at Anfield: "Everybody has told me it is special. But I have to see it, smell it and experience it. I'll have to see after the game. Stoke have brought all their tall players so it seems to be a heading festival.

Their line up looks look very attacking, probably a bit too much and we need to take advantage early on.

First goal crucial and we need to get it.

Could be a 6-1 thumping to them if we've not learnt from the weekends debacle, or it could go the other way & we tear them a new one on the counter attack.

Need to start off rip roaring. High press, give them nothing on the ball.

[Nicey]

Come on the mighty reds !!!
