Unbeaten at Anfield for over 2.5 years and you think of all teams, this Everton side will come here and win?
The only way they beat us is if we put out the side that lost to Villa

Let's not be stupid about it. If we play with the line ups some have suggested in this thread there's definitely a chance that we will lose. What I really don't want is a replay.
Ancelotti is shrewd enough to know what winning a derby will do for him - loads of breathing space, huge adulation, possibly a statue, etc. So I'm not convinced he'll rest his starting XI. I think he'll realise this is an incredibly good opportunity to get a win over the neighbours. It's a lousy time for us to have to play them at all, but playing them with a weakened team, no matter how sensible it is in terms of the league, makes it even more unwelcome. The only cause for optimism, for me, is that the side might be so unfamiliar to him it might just spoil his own tactical plan.
Would only rest like 5 players imo
Adrian
Trent Gomez Phillips Milner
Chirivella Lallana
Elliott Minamino Mane

I think they'd be good enough to get at least a draw, look how they played against Arsenal and that Arsenal side are much more talented than Everton.
I reckon a replay and then a narrow loss at Baadison with an even weaker side.
Using one game to try and make a point - excellent.
Watch games when they play together and you'll see why Mane is a better partner for Origi than Salah.
The biggest game of his and Salah’s career isn’t a bad example.
You don't watch much football mate ...
Good team and these are the players we should start. The first team needs a rest. Time for the youngest/ squad players to stake a claim / put themselves in the shop window for January. In particular we need a performance from Brewster
Robertson needs a rest, Milli Vanilli at LB
Just watched the pre match press conference and aside from all the injury updates and transfer stuff Klopp is really annoyed by the fixture schedule, especially the potential of a replay. He's really angry about how the FA are organising games. Mentions Newcastle losing 4 players in one game, Bournemouth suffering an incredible amount of injuries.
He's not wrong, something will have to be done about this and if the FA really wants England to win an international competition they have to make a change.
Make the league cup an U23 cup or something, scrap the 2 legged semi-final. Scrap FA cup replays.
All the big clubs want a change, I'm guessing the other clubs in the premier league aren't against it either. But why isn't anything happening?!
Also, Klopp all but confirmed that Adrian will start.

Or reduce the Premier league to eighteen teams
That's a great idea, but I think it's going to be harder to implement. I think only the Bundesliga have 18 teams.
It's probably a topic that deserves it's own thread rather than derailing this one.
True. I'm on it.
In answer to your last question....its because we the supporting public love all the winter footy.
I really really hope Shaq is back for this one. Not only does it give someone a rest (or allow us to use on of the front three for a more intense 30 mins at the end if needed) but I felt he was one of the standouts in the last game and had the number of most of the Ev players.
Bad news. Klopp said..............
“Shaqiri looks good; in a good way, will not be available for [Sunday] but looks good.
That's a reduction of 4 games. I would rather have 1 domestic cup, with prem league clubs only allowed to field a maximum of 5 players over 23 in the cup
It’s a shame but Shaq is looking like another one who can’t be relied upon to stay fit
It's always a muscle injury. He has too much muscle mass. I think that's the root of his injury problems. He needs to get leaner if he wants to prolong his career. Aguero with his massive legs is having the same problems.
Hasn't done Adama any harm?
Robbo can rest in Istanbul.
