    I wouldn't change it too much as there is time between the games, just let them rest from training instead.

    I'm sure Klopp will switch it up like you say though.

    in general I'd agree but we need to rest somewhere.

    it's 3 days to arsenal and 4 to city.. with city resting all I'm sure as much as possible to beat us.

    if we can rest v Newcastle and win (not easy) and then go at arsenal and city then we can throw the cup like klopp was seems to ****ing do (I hate it) then we will be in a good place

    City can run catch us if we win the next 18 though. Be 7 clear with 2 to play in assumption they win the rest of theirs as well.

    Can’t see whole sale changes but I’d imagine Shaq will come in given it’s a home game where we’ll dominate possession.

    Big Al
    Clyne Lovren VVD Moreno
    Gini Hendo
    Origi Firm Shaq
    Salah

    That looks like way too many changes in one go for me.

    I'd agree.

    the real issue for me is we don't have reliable front 3 cover.

    the back line changing both full backs is prob ok.

    windy in for Henderson regular change.

    shaqiri coming in or keita I think is injury enforced anyway.

    so... them you get to mane, firmino and salah... we've no adequate cover there.

    I think it will just be 2 or 3 changes. We are quite fortunate with breaks between games.

    In the past Klopp has gone for the option of keeping one or two of the front three on the bench and being ready to bring them on early (for him) if we're struggling. It wouldn't surprise me if he tries that.

    In general I would agree. far nicer than last year.

    with arsenal first then city I really think we will see some changes on boxing day

    most likely.. which then begs the question... who plays from the start.

    the recent game v Burnley will prob provide the answer.

    my view is Milner, Robertson, Henderson, Keita are all obvious rests. (clyne, Moreno, windy,shaqiri)

    but then we go hmmm.. We have sturridge so does salah sit down and firmino start?

    do the subs order Friday suggest mane?

    after these we are into lallana and origi.

    and at this point it's time to highlight we are talking about our first team from 2 years ago.

    mingolet
    clyne lovren vvd moreno
    lallana Henderson windy
    shaqiri sturridge mane

    only two in as new guys.

    if that side can't beat Newcastle ok....fair enough.

    No need to feature Mignolet. He can play against Wolves in the cup

    The amount of excitement I get for winning the FA cup or league cup is similar in level to exiting the cup. After the big two, does anyone really care.

    YES

    if you could remember winning one I expect you'd remember why winning one is far better than meekly outing out each year.

    I'd dearly love a pot this year.
