Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Salah and Van Dijk avoided injury at Wembley but says #LFC will likely take a cautious approach with both at Southampton. “They are both okay. So, the target would be for both that they can be involved again on the weekend.”

The difficult part of the selection is what we do with Trent and Konaté. Both played 120 minutes and we probably can't both rest them. Gomez will either have to play CB with Matip, or replace Trent. I would probably play Gomez right back and risk Konate. But for the rest of the team, there are sufficient options to easily rotate some who are tired.

No real surprise there - If it were me picking the side, Robbo would be getting the evening off too.

I'd be going along the lines of:

 

Alisson; Gomez, Matip, Konate, Tsimikas; Hendo, Keita, Jones; Diaz, Firmino, Jota.

 

Subs: Kelleher, Trent, Beck, Milner, Ox, Elliott, Minamino, Mane, Origi.

 

Would definitely look at hooking Hendo around the hour mark, then probably Diaz around 75 minutes.

 

You could, in a real madness, run Ox out at right-back with Gomez alongside Matip, if there were any concerns risking Konate. (I'd rather have Milner playing in the middle of the park than him covering at fullback for 1 game if Hendo is not risked).

 

I do wonder if using Ox as an emergency right-back has ever crossed Klopp's mind this season - Given how high our fullbacks play, it would be akin to his time playing as a wingback/right-sided midfielder during his time at Arsenal.

Ox at right back is an absolute 'No' from me.

And (based on the last time he was asked to play right-back, in preseason, and point-blank refused, so we had to play Woodburn there) an absolute 'Nah' from Ox as well.

Are Neco and Nat back & available?

No, the terms of their loans specify that they are unavailable to us until after the end of the Championship playoffs, regardless of them not actually being in them (also applies to van den Berg).

Dammit! We could have started with Neco in the front three, like we did against Leicester in the League Cup.

Let's just win with some contentious decision in our favour to fuel the blues conspiracy that the PL want a final day showdown.

An exact recreation of the below with the ref awarding a pen to win it.

We know what we need to do: win two games and then see if Villa can punch above their weight and take points off the sportswashing cunts. We've got the squad to win our remaining three games, to give a fitting end to this incredible season, so I can't be doing with any sort of "play the kids and save the rest for Paris" talk; we are so far past those days of Kevin Stewart, Brad Smith and Pedro Chirivella.

 

Just get these beat, Reds.

There's a balance to be struck and I trust Klopp and our medical team to make a better go of it than Redinblack.

I havent said play the kids Mr AoT and I have said to use the squad....anyway....if City did slip up at the weekend and I sent out the Suicide Battalion tonight I'd feel a bit of a cunt I suppose.

Milner, Jones, Keita is my guess at the midfield tonight.

That’s about the best we can put out. A muscle strain for Hendo or Thiago would surely be a big risk if they played tonight. 
 

Gomez, Jones and Origi are completely fresh, while Matip, Tsimikas, Milner, Firmino and Jota all had limited roles at the weekend.

 

Alisson, Konate and Keita all played 120. 

 

I’d be surprised to see Ox, Elliott or Minamino starting.

Like I say, there's a balance to be struck. I think that line-up would be too disruptive.

 

I'd be a lot happier if this match was on Wednesday, though.
