Milner talks up Liverpool’s Cup chances

Liverpool overcame League Two Exeter City with a vastly inexperienced team in round three and their manager is willing to select a similar lineup in round four despite hosting West Ham United on Saturday.

Nathaniel Clyne will be assessed further before Klopp picks his side to face West Ham, but he said his FA Cup team would again feature some younger faces.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Lawrenson joked about his alleged vendetta against West Ham, before stating that Liverpool’s passage into the final of the Capital One Cup will lift them for tonight’s game on Merseyside.

West Ham or draw Double Chance at 5/6.

“Nobody forced it. I did not say before “Please try to break all records” but it was the game and we wanted to go to the final”.

“I am not here to think about what happens with a player in the future, we have to work in this moment together with Daniel on his fitness”. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Reds’ FA Cup triumph over the same opponents in the final of the competition in spectacular fashion as Steven Gerrard scored an absolute screamer in the dying embers of the game.

“We have beaten them twice but it’s still Liverpool away”.

“I think they have done okay this season”.

If the Reds do advance to the fifth round, it will mean they play at least seven matches next month as the fixtures just keep coming.

“If I didn’t believe that we can go through then we would put kids in again on Saturday, as we have a big game on Tuesday against Aston Villa”, said the Croatian manager.

We have to make a few changes, we will make them, but only because we want to win the game.

Liverpool FC have been suffering from a number of injuries to the players in their squad, but are now ready to welcome Dejan Lovren back into their defence, for the FA Cup tie against West Ham United. It’s going to much more hard for him to be shrewd in the English market comparable to Germany because although Borussia Dortmund were struggling when he took over they were still the second-biggest club behind Bayern Munich. Christian Benteke might come and lead the line as Roberto Firmino will be given a breather with the Brazilian’s services needed up-front against league leaders Leicester on Tuesday.

Liverpool must do more to assess the root cause of Daniel Sturridge’s injuries as his recurring absence is not a coincidence, says Graeme Souness.
