Somehow I have come to the conclusion that we'll pinch a result here.

You called the Chelsea game correctly from memory....

BREAKING: @LFC defender Virgil Van Dijk doubtful for Wednesday night's game against @LCFC due to illness. #SSN

Not returned to training since coming back from their trip to Dubai.  Hasn't missed a Prem game for exactly one year - 36 games. Lovren likely to return, following a hamstring injury.

[Lesta blue]

Before the transfer window opened, I think the feeling was Silva might be on the way out but as it turned out much to most people's surprise Iborra went. Given that's the situation I think Sila will feature more in the days to come. I think if there's 433 midfield, don't be surprised if it's The Undroppable 2 and Silva.

Probably have a blinder and we'll get a point and then the following day he'll be off to Turkmenstein on loan for 18 months.

Don’t put yourself down Ric, I reckon you’d thought that through actually?

 

[ARTY_FOX]

We’ll have this 2-1. Gonna be a bombardment on our goal though and more soul destroying than the last 10 at Chelsea 

[Ted Maul]

Van Dijk potentially out? Could be massive. Not just for his quality individually, but for the uncertainty that not having him might have for the rest of their team/atmosphere in the ground. Down to the bare bones at right back too aren't they?

 

Defend well and hit them as hard as we can on the break, you never know.

Yeh I think TAA is out too. Likely to Fabinho at full-back.

Tasty. Milner suspended too?

 

Know whether Gomez and Matip are still injured? Lovren might not even be 100% if he's having to be rushed back, not sure they've got anyone else.

[Ted Maul]

All probably irrelevant anyway, we always lose every game we play against any side with an injury crisis.

Gomez definitely out, Lovren likely to be involved I think.

[Clarkey123]

             Schmeichel

 

Ric    Evans    Maguire  Chilly

          

          Hamza        Wilf

                    Mads 

 

Albrighton                      barnes

 

                    Vards

[Nicolo Barella]

Lovren and Matip have barely played together. If TAA is still out, we could be facing them and one of Milner/Fabinho at RB. Now that is tasty.

[st albans fox]

Klopp says VVD trained today and will be involved 

[Staffs Fox]

Without wanting to put a dampener on it but Fabinho is actually a RB by trade and has played for Brazil in that position. Don't think it'll be a problem for him,

 

Van Dijk on the other hand would be a massive miss for them

Unless they put a 10 month old kid at the back instead, our aimless high crosses in to Vardy or an empty space will still result in an easy nights work for them i'd have thought. We are extraordinary for being even worse against teams when they are depleted with injuries or suspensions. Against Burnley and Southampton this season they had so many players out and we let them off the hook. Southampton had Shane Long as their only striker who hadn't scored since Ken Bigley still had a head and even when down to 10 men we still lost. I'd rather van Dijk play!!!!

[Spudulike]

'I expect City to win every game' - Klopp'

I agree, hopefully starting tomorrow night at Anfield.

[MikeyT]

From SSN: 

 

Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee) ??

Dejan Lovren (hamstring) ? 

Joe Gomez (leg fracture) ?

James Milner (suspended) ⚠️

 

The injuries are mounting up for Jurgen Klopp... 

 

@LFC's Virgil van Dijk could miss @LCFC match through illness: skysports.tv/nmZzXG

[Grebfromgrebland]

Great we're gonna lost to Liverpool reserves now

[lgfualol]

Van Dijk will play and get a hattrick from corners

[Gevans_97]

Apparently VVD trained today. 

[foxinsocks]

So did i ..... but i will be careful to pull out if tackles if selected to tomorrow

[Guest Manini]

I really want to beat these. I hope the players, realising the season is over, treat every game against the big teams as a cup final. I absolutely detest Liverpool.
