EFL Cup QF: Liverpool v Leeds, 7.45 Sky Sports 1

Team News

Liverpool forward Philippe Coutinho will miss Tuesday's EFL Cup quarter-final against Championship side Leeds with suspected ankle ligament damage.
Roberto Firmino is unlikely to be risked and Daniel Sturridge (also calf) is out, while Simon Mignolet will replace Loris Karius in goal.
Leeds boss Garry Monk has not said whether he will name his strongest side or make changes like in past rounds.

I hope Leeds go with Viduka up front again...failing that, keeping the score respectable will have to be the target...

Zaph

Monk has to name his strongest side and give it a go. As long as we put up a decent performance and are not humiliated I'll be happy.

Harry Palmr

Looking forward to a certain poster.....

I guess Daniel still doesn't feel 100%.

Interesting line up. This is a big step up for these lads. Could be tough. Great for their development if they do well.

Klopp must trust these lads though as I'm sure he's keen to win this tournament if possible.

Did you ever think that he might just simply be genuinely injured?

Turtyturd

Thought Grujic would have started.

murpho999

That's a great story of TAA being a mascot with Carragher in 2009 when Liverpool last played Leeds.
You just couldn't make it up.

Harry Palmr

The M62 is in a state of chasis plenty of Leeds supporters still in traffic.

Mig bailed out Lucas there

That sounds like something someone could easily make up.

The football team that died in the plane crash in Brazil today.

TAA needs a prod to go forward, he has great pace, shouldn't be afraid to use it.

They had pictures of him as a mascot with Carra at the last game.

BorneTobyWilde

Take the lead here and we'll be 1-0 up .

I know but in a world where writers create stories about cloned dinosaurs and people with superpowers making up the TAA story seems entirely plausible.

BorneTobyWilde

Fizzy Ho should take it off the pitch to treat

Mushy

Jesus Bartley

Potential Underachiever

But if he thought that then how would he bitch about Sturridge?

Vicxas

Is Ojo injured?

Pedant Alert.

That Liverpool come back in Istanbul was sh1te huh? I mean if we can put man on the moon then coming back from 3-0 is p1ss easy right?

Trigger

Terrible call by the Linesman there, a good 5 yards in his own half when the ball was played

Mushy

Good man linesman. Was fourth official explaining to monk why it was offside?

Harry Palmr

Why the **** is Mad Albert cutting inside?

DrumSteve

Been decent so far.

Think we will pull away in the second half though.

MD1990

Many of our players taking too many touches.

Morrison J

Good to hear a decent atmosphere in Anfield for a change.

The Leeds fans always generate a great atmosphere at away games

I hope Chuck Norris makes it

Think the history between them was always pretty good, from the time the Kop applauded the 69 Leeds side off the pitch at Anfield when both were fighting for the title. And the Justice for the 96 campaign was always well received outside Elland Road, Leeds fans hate the South Yorkshire police.

murpho999

Wow, Mignolet had no idea where that was. Lucky.

Vicxas

Wow, got lucky there

NukaCola

Haven't seen Leeds play for a while but they look a decent side....
