Klopp will have a selection headache ahead of this game, with Milner, Firmino and Benteke among those rested against Southampton.
Clyne will most likely return to the side, after Klopp confirmed that he had to rest him due to the amount of games he's played.
Coutinho should hopefully be ready to play.

It's going to be difficult to predict the starting team. A space in midfield will open up due to Can's suspension and with Henderson's return it could mean that he'll get his first start under Klopp.
However, I wouldn't be surprised to see Allen start after an impressive performance against Southampton. He was also subbed quite early in the game so it could be that Klopp is considering him for this game.

Possible line up:

Subs: Bogdan, Randall, Touré, Henderson, Ibe, Lallana (Coutinho), Sturridge

If Coutinho is not 100% then I can see him being on the bench again for this. Allen and Lallana played the full 90 so maybe bench time for them too. Firmino is rested and should return. I'd like to see what Bogdan is like in a full on BPL 90 mins though no doubt Klopp will go with Mignolet. Sturridge and Benteke could both start if we play the diamond again.

What's your take on Henderson performance when he came on yesterday?
Maybe it's unfair to judge him based on a cameo in a game that already had been decided but I think he looked a bit sluggish.
 
Another fucking 12 midnight kick off here. It's going to be a Walking Dead Monday.

How great it is to have genuinely good options though. When was the last time the first eleven was obvious?

A few weeks ago when everyone was injured.
 
------------Mignolet-------------
Clyne--Skrtel--Lovren--Moreno
-------------Lucas-----------------
-------Can---------Hendo--------
Lallana-----------------Coutinho
------------Firmino---------------

Only change I see might be Bentekkers up front and Milner over Hendo in my mind.

I thought he was fine – maybe not dominant, but lively enough. Hard to judge based on this, of course – this game was basically over as a contest by the time he entered.

No Can.
 
Shame we cant appeal that yellow card.
Allen was very good last night though and deserves another start.
 
I'd love to see this line up:

--------------Mignolet

Clyne----Skrtel-----Lovren----Moreno

------------Lucas----Milner
---------------Coutinho
Firmino--------------------Sturridge
---------------Benteke

Just cram everyone in there. Sure it's unbalanced and probably wouldn't work, but on paper that team looks very entertaining.
 
We're now approaching that point where we all wondered what he'd do when he had Benteke, Sturridge, Firmino, Lallana, Coutiniho, Milner, Henderson all available to him.
I presume he'll do the same as rodgers and change to a diamond instead of playing one of the strikers out wide out of position.

Sturridge played out wide yesterday
 
I think he'll want him up front where he can do more damage, you get the best out of him playing him up top.
 
I'm not even gonna bother suggesting a team because there's far too many very good permutations. Allen was superb last night and IMO deserves to be given a chance to show he can do it regularly, Lucas has been excellent in recent weeks (never thought I'd be typing that), if Hendo is fully fit he has to start, Milner is thriving now that he's playing every week etc, etc.

.....................................................Ming...........................................
Clyne.......................Skrtel......................Lovren....................Moreno
.....................Any 3 from Lucas, Milner, Allen and Henderson.
.....................Any 3 from Sturridge, Firmino, Benteke, Ibe, Coutinho, Lallana
 
We've doing really well as of late away at good teams as they're expected to play a bit as they're at home, leaving us chances in behind.
I suspect that these lot will park the bus and be more than happy to get a 0-0 and have no shots on goal, considering the position and form they're in.
 
Couldn't help noticing they've recalled Williamson, one of the worst Prem defenders I've ever seen, from his loan at Wolves. They must be in even worse shape than I thought.
