Mostly second string for me here (as I believe Arsenal will line up so aswell) and then strongest side for Fulham. SF of EFL cup is more important that a 3rd round game in the FA cup.
Kelleher Bradley Konate Quansah Chambers Mac Elliott Grav Gordon Gakpo Jota
If Beck and Carvalho are available and ready, then maybe Beck for Chambers and Carvalho for Gordon.
Donāt see us competing on 4 levels, let this one go and play the U23.

Perfect game, we win I am happy, we lose and Iām not that upset. A draw would be devastating unless there are penalties. We really donāt need the extra games this season.
This will be a nice game for those who didnāt play yesterday, or those that didnāt finish the game.
This is a tricky one. Klopp surely wants to keep the momentum going, but with too many cup competitions, we are at risk of running our main players in the ground. Especially the left back situation is worrying. Of course, I donāt know how he is currently, but Iād tend to keep Gomez out of that game, given his injury record over the years, and keep him fresh for the PL.
Iād understand if Klopp played the U23s to be honest, and would have no qualms with it, but then again, heād be accused of ādisrespectingā the FA cup. As said, a tricky one.
Knowing Klopp, heāll go full strength, and risk losing one or two further players to injury.
Wouldnāt be so willing to give this game up as some seemingly want to beforehand. The schedule around this game isnāt that bad, plenty of rest to be had after both of the league cup ties. Theyāre having a shit time of it at the moment and we should be doing everything in our power to keep them down, not giving them a potentially momentum swinging victory.
