Arsenal play tomorrow night @home in The League Cup v Blackpool and will probably hand Carl Jenkinson a first Arsenal appearance in two years against Blackpool and 17-year-old Zech Medley is also in contention. Bellerin is being assessed by the medical team after suffering a thigh strain during Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace.
His absence left manager Unai Emery missing six key defenders during the second-half at Selhurst Park as he also struggled to cope without Laurent Koscielny, Nacho Monreal, Sead Kolasinac, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
Koscielny has only just returned to training after a ruptured Achilles in May while Maitland-Niles has been out since suffering a leg fracture in the opening game of the season against Manchester City.
Monreal and Kolasinac have both missed Arsenal’s last three games with hamstring strains and Mavraponos has been out for more than a month with a groin injury.

It'll be nice to test Arsenal's make-shift backline on saturday especially 34 year old right back, Lichtsteiner's pace. Robbo & Mane should be having a field day down that left!

It wouldn't surprise me if Klopp starts both of Henderson and Milner in this game, with a view to supporting our full backs against their attack, despite Fabinho and Wijnaldum doing well in our last outings.

Arsenal have a very good attack and are at home so we can't go all out attack so I can see Milner starting alongside Fabinho and Wijnaldum, Shaq will be on the bench again because if we start him we will be too open as seen against Southampton. We need the right balance to control and win the game.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

I think Klopp ought to be banging on the Owners' door this morning and giving them a big ole Klopp smile and hug, then asking them for a signed blank cheque for January...he won't get a better time than now after their Rounders Team won the World Series final game to seal the Championship 5 v 1 last night. If he's lucky he might even get a motorboating off Linda as well!  How would that help on Saturday against Arsenal? Maybe you should try to get us the right refree based on your dodgy conspiracy theories.

Imo this will be decided by klopps team selection..
with the right pick of players then lfc can win..
start with henderson llalana moreno then you have to say lfc will be no better off than they have been in recent years.In such a case it will be an easy arsenal win.

Think Klopp will want to keep things tight in the first half but if 0-0 at half time he will put Shaq on after about 20 minutes in the second half. Hope Bobby shows his best stuff and scores himself. We need all front three enjoying scoring.

We really should be taking advantage of the Arses defence and midfielders that don't track back.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.
