Says a lot for the strength of our squad that this is almost an entirely new 11 and would still give a good account of itself against a top side like Liverpool.

It is a completely different 11 to Saturday. Having watched Jakupovic in the U23s, I think Hamer gets the start, I can live with the rest of them. If James isn't fit play choudhury as Iborra and James are both a little slow. Hopefully no Ulloa.

I thought we'd take this seriously and try and win the league cup but after the start we've had, Shakespeare is going to want to put everything in to beating them in the league. 

 

We'll make changes. Shinji and Slim up top, King and Amartey in the middle, Gray and Musa on the wings. 

 

It'll be horrible.

i'd be shocked if its that high, its on TV and we are playing them again the following Saturday

 

Just checked the ticket availability and theres only around 100 tickets left so will be very near max capacity

Looking forward to lining up 442 again and getting overrun in midfield. Going 2 down within 60 mins, then changing formation, looking much better, getting a goal back and losing 2-1.

 

Then line up 442 again on Saturday.

That's more than my heart can take.

Does anyone know if this will be a strong attendance?

Reckon it'll be around 20,000.

 

It's a virtual sell out.

 

Less than 300 tickets left.

[filbertway]

Expect us to beat these, assuming Klopp plays a team with an everage age of about 12.

 

Great opportunity to work on something a bit different. We really should be looking to go to 3 at the back asap.

Dragovic

Huth

Maguire

 

Albrighton

If we have ambitions in winning a cup this season then surely we should put our strongest team out 

[the fox]

Unpopular opinion: would rather win this than the league game.

[the fox]

As always, keep vardy and riyad on the bench in case the game can be won in the last 20 minutes.

Don't disagree but I think Shakespeare will be more desperate for the three points to stop the rot, frankly. 

 

I'm not saying I think his job should be in danger yet, our opening fixtures have been horrible, but equally if we only pick up four points by the latter stages of September then he's going to start being under pressure.

Silva and Iborra in midfield ??

It's the dream line up, you'd like to think that front 3 could be devestating, especially if we can pinch the ball high up the field.

Less than no chance 

 

Liverpool will be playing a weakened team but will still likely include Milner, ox, Sturridge, lovren or matip, ings, woodburn

Looks like Hamza is in the squad. On the training video, only one I could spot from the u23's

Nice, he needs to be pushing for first team action soon, he'll be 20 in a couple of weeks.

Cups are our chance for some success this year, play a string side and stay in the cups while our new players bed in.

Im afrayed thats knot a good idea

[Livid]

Out of the 10 or so Season Ticket Holders I know, I'm the only one going.

 

It's going to be a strange crowd again.

[goose2010]

Danny Ward is starting in goal for Liverpool tomorrow.

Oxlade-Chamberlain and Grujic will also start.

 

 

Everyone I have seen Ox play through the middle he has lacked defensive awareness. Hopefully we can overrun them in midfield. 

[TheUltimateWinner]

No vardy, James or Fuchs.

 

Knight and Choudhury in the squad.

[goose2010]

Huth still out, i think it will be another month before we see him.

Seems like he must be having a reaction to playing

 

lasted the whole match early last week so no issue during the game
