Was quite happy to crash out when the draw was made and focus on League/Europe but could do with a win now.

----------Ward

TAA Gomez Klavan Moreno

AOC Henderson Wijnaldum

-----Grujic Woodburn

--------Solanke

Picking teams in this comp is always more fun.

I'd go:

Trent
Gomez
Klavan
Robertson

Grujic
Wijnaldum
Coutinho

Ox
Solanke
Woodburn

Subs: Karius, Matip, Moreno, Milner, Ejaria, Salah, Sturridge

I like the look of that side but I think Sturridge will start

I reckon Lovren might start ahead of Gomez in the middle and Gomez might play ahead of TAA at RB.

Other than that

[Shaggy]

It's a big game now - after the last three results we desperately need a win. Another bad result and the mood will be really sour and we're only in mid September.

Phil should start for those reasons and also because he needs games.

[Buzzo]

Definitely a shame it's away. And they can afford to put a strong team forward, though the fact that we play then again 4 days later may give them cause to rest a few.

I fear the worst, and then how a bad result in a competition we shouldn't really care about is going to be interpreted.

[BigChief]

Klopp will go almost full strength now no doubt. Does Manes ban include cups? Probably:

Ward
Gomez Matip Lovren Moreno
Wijnaldum Hendo Coutinho
Mane Solanke Firmino

[Liverpool]

judging by the ticket prices Aldridge/Rush will be upfront.

Adult £10, Over 65 £8 ,18-21 yrs (Young adult) £8, 12-17 yrs (Junior) £5, 2-11 yrs £3

Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare says Matty James, Christian Fuchs and Robert Huth are all likely to miss out too.

This, but use Flanagan for Trent and rest him for our next league game, maybe even start Henderson for Coutinho and give Coutinho 30 mins. and start him in the league.
