Team News

Plymouth striker David Goodwillie will not feature for the club after being involved in a civil case in Scotland.

The Pilgrims are also without Connor Smith after he was injured in Saturday's 4-2 win against Stevenage.

Liverpool keeper Loris Karius is set to start, but the third-round replay is likely to come too soon for injured pair Nathaniel Clyne and Lucas Leiva.

Right-back Clyne (rib) and midfielder Lucas (knee) both missed Sunday's 1-1 draw at Manchester United.

Liverpool have also opted to leave out centre-back Joel Matip after being forced to pull him out of the match at Old Trafford amid a dispute with Cameroon's football association.

Klopp named the youngest starting line-up in Liverpool's history in the original tie at Anfield, seeing his side held to a 0-0 draw by the League Two promotion chasers.

The winners of Wednesday's replay will host Championship side Wolves in the fourth round on 28 January.

Daniel to tear it up and and make his stats look awesome.

Knex* · 18-01-2017 4:01pm

Wouldn't it be gas if we lost

I reckon Coutinho could start this game and get an hour, or at least he'll get another 30 mins before starting on Saturday.

martyos121 · 18-01-2017 4:16pm

One nil to the Pilgrims. Prove me wrong Liverpool. Or don't, ''tis only the FA Cup.

emo72 · 18-01-2017 4:17pm

Sturridge is on a hiding to nothing here. Everyone expects him to score loads (well I do) and if he has an off night he'll get the auld flak. That's my pre match moan over. Liverpool to win 4 nil. And Emo to sneak out and have a pint for every goal. Result.

5starpool · 18-01-2017 4:18pm

I want us to win this game. Plymouth will attack a bit more and presumably cause problems for us, but we should have more space as well. Both teams will score I reckon. 1-3 is my prediction for tonight.

Harry Palmr · 18-01-2017 5:16pm

Win lose or draw I just hope they play well and everyone shakes hands at the end.

Vicxas · 18-01-2017 6:06pm

After that game against mid-table opposition, its nice to see some tough opposition

prettyboy81 · 18-01-2017 6:37pm

Coutinho

Harry Palmr · 18-01-2017 6:37pm

Starting XI vs Plymouth: Karius; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Lucas, Moreno; Ejaria, Stewart, Coutinho; Woodburn, Sturridge, Origi

Mignolet, Randall, Klavan, J Williams, Alves, Ojo, Wilson

Youngest team ever?

Oh wait Lucas :mad:

5starpool · 18-01-2017 6:48pm

Sturridge and Coutinho push up the age from last time a little as well. Should surely be too much firepower there for Plymouth with a bit more space. Not many options from the bench anyhow.

Agent Coulson · 18-01-2017 7:04pm

Plymouth will more than likely use the same tactics and try and take it to pens.

No one could blame them for doing that either.

OwaynOTT · 18-01-2017 7:11pm

Hope we don't have to rely on the bench.

~Rebel~ · 18-01-2017 7:17pm

We're clearly going all out to win this in the first 30minutes. Very happy with the team selection though, a nice mix of youth and high quality where it matters up front. Also nice to see Coutinho play a little at 8, we don't get to see that very much anymore.

Would have liked to have had a Lallana or Firmino on the bench just in case, but I understand the decision. They could both really do with a proper break, without travel.

Either way, Coutinho will likely be withdrawn at either half time or before 70 mins anyhow.

It'd be an improvement on Sturridge. :pac:

Not much movement out of either of them though.

5starpool · 18-01-2017 7:46pm

I reckon the game will mostly start similar to the last one with them not risking much, but I think if it is still 0-0 after 15 or 20 mins they will get a bit more adventurous.

Hopefully an early Liverpool goal which should liven things up in terms of end to end action anyhow.

Typical sh'ite from Moreno.

Turtyturd · 18-01-2017 7:55pm

Uggghh.

5starpool · 18-01-2017 7:59pm

Looked like a peno to me.

Harry Palmr · 18-01-2017 7:59pm

How the feck is that not a penalty?

/checks to see if it's Mike Dean

Alonso77 · 18-01-2017 8:00pm

Another fine iexample of the standard of British refereeing.

18-01-2017 8:00pm

Plymouth lads mustn't be the paciest.

BorneTobyWilde · 18-01-2017 8:01pm

Easy penalty to give
Wasn't a tackle
Wasn't a slip
Wasn't a dive
Wasn't a penalty

What was it ref .

Turtyturd · 18-01-2017 8:02pm

Definite peno alright. Think normally going down so easily went against him.

citytillidie · 18-01-2017 8:03pm

Not saying anything about the ref.

Heard the Plymouth manager on the radio and i dunno what is going on in home park but he made the comment of what sounded like "there is lots of incest in the crowd tonight" :pac:
