I expect Klopp goes for the obvious team even though it would be good to see if Endo can cut it yet

Ali
Trent Konate Virg Kostas
Szobo Macca Grav
Salah Nuñez Diaz
 
Does Forest play in a low block? Because there was a lanky kid at Anfield on Thursday that seemed awfully good in tight spaces.

They generally play a back 5 with a diamond midfield and one up top.

Given their injury situation it’ll be Gibbs-White at the tip of the diamond and Woods as the lone striker

No Origi, Taiwo or Elanga. Oh and they don’t do the long throw thing anymore which messed us up last season
 
So with Diaz out :

Salah Gakpo Nuñez
or
Salah Nuñez Jota
or
Salah Gakpo Jota
Or just Mo and Darwin and bring in Endo for Diaz. (Unlikely I know but it’s an option and a possible route in for Endo to impress again). Get him alongside Mac with Szobo and Grav as the 2 8’s. Then keep more attacks options on the bench.
 
Mate is off to Dom Szob's birthday party after the match tomoz... so with it being his birthday, and with him being 23, the number of chaos, we've gotta be looking at a 3-2 win with a Dom Szob injury time brace.

Wow we're fucked with a 2-3 loss then.
 
1000th concecutive game with the Tage in the stands.
That is some achievement and dedication in all honesty.
 
Luis Diaz's father is 'rescued from a kidnapping in Colombia' after a shootout left two abductors dead... hours after his mother was also reported to be rescued

  • Luis Diaz's father has reportedly been rescued from a kidnapping in Colombia
  • His rescue is yet to be officially confirmed, but two abductors are believed dead
  • Diaz's mother was also rescued after the ordeal in the Barrancas, La Guajira
By GERARD COUZENS FOR MAILONLINE

Luis Diaz's dad has reportedly been rescued from a kidnapping during a shootout which left two of his captors dead hours after the footballer's mum was freed from her ordeal. The search had continued for Luis Manuel Diaz after Cilenis Marulanda was rescued following a police chase triggered by the kidnap of the Liverpool star's parents on Saturday afternoon near their home in the town of Barrancas in Colombia's Caribbean region.

Reports in local media in the La Guajira region, which Barrancas forms part of, say the striker's dad has now been freed following a shootout with police which resulted in the deaths of two of the four kidnappers.

The incident is said to have happened near to an area called Los Barrancones as the captors headed towards Colombia's border with Venezuela with the intention of smuggling him into the neighboring country.

There has not yet been any official confirmation Luis Diaz's dad has also been rescued. His mum was pictured overnight enjoying a tearful reunion with relatives.
 
Alisson, Trent, Konate, Virgil, Tsimikas, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Nuñez, Jota
Yes that would have been my pick too after Diaz had to drop out. Add in Robbo for the Greek and Diaz for Jota and it's now our strongest lineup.
 
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Jota, Salah, Nunez.
Subs: Adrian, Kelleher, Gomez, Endo, Gakpo, Elliott, Matip, Chambers, McConnell.

Expected. Starters have to get it done today. Bench not looking great offensively
 
Two keepers and two children on the bench
Yeah I always think having 2 keepers on the bench is utterly pointless ... or a horrible omen. At least put another youngster on there - he may get 5-10 mins if all goes well.
 
Nottingham Forest were already without forwards Callum Hudson-Odoi and Divock Origi because of injury.

There is no Chris Wood either but Anthony Elanga has recovered from illness to feature.
Moussa Niakhate and Ola Aina return to the starting XI, while Harry Toffolo drops to the bench.

Taiwo Awoniyi is back on the bench after injury.

Nottingham Forest XI: Turner, Aurier, Boly, Mangala, Murillo, Sangare, Dominguez, Niakhate, Aina, Gibbs-White, Elanga.
Subs: Vlachodimos, Tavares, Santos, Yates, Williams, Toffolo, Worrall, Kouyate, Awoniyi.

Elanga is pacey and so will stretch us if they can get up the field, Aurier is probably the best route for that
