Soyuncu I doubt will be fit, touch and go (said week to week and half), maybe Man CIty or Liverpool PL game. Evans should be fine as he was in line for a start at Everton.

 

As you say, it will have been 10 days since our last game so most players isolating should be back, at least training.

Could be Amartey and Wilf at the back to then. Liverpool will  rotate going by Klopps moaning yesterday

[Jobyfox]

Are Bertrand, Benkovic and Vestergaard all back fit for this one?

 

If so, I’d go with a back four of: Thomas, Evans, Amartey and Castagne 

[eastendfox]

Play those who need a game because they were isolating first and foremost. Liverpool unlikely to play too many first teamers.

If Vestergaard is affected by Covid to the extent as Betrand...Yikes!

Gun for these. I'd have sooner gone for this than the Spurs/Everton games as our league campaign is essentially dead in the water already anyway. The fact we've been forced to is a blessing in disguise.

With it being so very tight, points wise, covering 10/12 places from 4th down I'd say our league campaign is very far from dead in the water.

What's the equivalent of a knitted v neck sleeveless jumper for Christmas off yer Nan? Vestergaard being the only available centre half for the entire Xmas period.

Our best route back into Europe of any form this season is the conference league or this. The gap is likely to have grown by the new year. Dead in the water perhaps not, but I'd prioritise cups at this point.

...then about early January you realise you're getting the matching tank top when Soyuncu returns.

Winning the league cup, gives us more global exposure and helps to build our reputation as a team regularly competing for and winning trophies. This can help us attract players, gain some glory hunting fans abroad and help the coffers long term. Not saying prioritise over the Conference but there is no need to have to prioritise at this stage.  We can go for both and see where we get.  We are two rounds from the final.  Go for it.

Id like to win the league cup this season, then Vardy and Kasper will have completed the domestic set with us - Premier League title, Fa Cup, and League cup winners

Que sera sera

[blurryface]

Win on weds, 1 game away from Wembley 4th time within 12 months. 

 

Going to use the covid buzzwords.

 

Unprecedented times.

That's a bit harsh. At least your nan's v neck is a bit useful and will keep you a bit warm. 

[K1FOX]

Vestergaard winner 94th minute in front of us?

[Sly]

If you’re Rodgers or Klopp, do you play a stronger team, knowing that the games on Boxing Day, might be cancelled anyway? 
 

Why we need a two leg semi final is a joke as well. Just play it at a semi neutral venue if it reduces the games.

For anyone looking for a stream it will be live on Bein Sports in Aus, so there should be streams available.

Aren’t all carabao cup games streamed live off their website or was that only last year ?

Think that was last year while games were behind closed doors.

Not disagreeing with your " have a right go at the cups" ethos Dan.

I personally feel with 22 games left in the league and massive players returning in the New Year top 7 is possible still! 

Deffo go for the cups big time though!

Is there a press conference today? On the BBC website it lists all the other teams playing tomorrow as having one but not us which seems strange.

Liverpool press conference at noon - hopefully that is a good sign that this will go ahead
No idea when ours is though.
