Chelsea vs Liverpool - EFL Cup, 25th February @ 3pm

[stressederic]

Get the trophy won. I want to see Klopp waving as many shiny cups around as possible.

[McBain]

Bradley and Endo plus 9 others

[Gethin]

It's only Salah & Nunez, plus a very outside shot of Szoboszlai that have a possibility of being back for this isn't it?

[Cobs]

Hopefully the rest tonight pays dividends and Nunez & Salah can play a part

Agree. If last night had been city we might have said damn the risk and played him. Resting him up should mean he's OK for Sunday. Hopefully

My comment was entirely justified 

[McBain]

If we can get one of Mo or Darwin fit from the start then Klopp can choose between Elliott and Gravenberch. I'm really unsure which way I'd go. Ideally both are benched but one has to start. I'd probably go Elliott

[Gethin]

Elliott put a massive shift in so may be too knackered to start 

[Molby]

this would have marked my 29th, yes 29th!!

 cup final 

but I’ve given my ticket to my son and am f***ing off back to Spain instead 

partly because of the opposition - I just don’t want to be anywhere near these c**** any more, absolute scum

Hopefully both start and they witness Bradley's hat trick in a 8-0 win

Yes. And we’ve just had an intense game and are facing a team that didn’t play midweek.
 

Player management will be a factor in selection, so even if Elliot starts I don’t think he plays the full game so I think I’d rather he came on as sub. 
 

Kelleher

Bradley Konate VVD Robbo

? Endo Mac Allister

? ? Diaz 

Some of those have to start cos there’s no other option and the question marks depend on if anyone else is available for selection and who recovers best from today 

[Cobs]

If Elliott is too knackered to start this match having started one game in the last month and with 3 full days rest available after last night then something needs to be done about his fitness.

i suspect he’ll be ok to start if needed.

Chelsea not having a midweek game is irrelevant to his selection 

[Binomial]

Same team only Ibou and Robbo for Quansah and Gomez.

Be nice to have 1 of Mo/Darwin on the bench but given they weren't even in the squad last night raises concerns.

Whoever XI, bring it on.

Disagree. They’re going to have the advantage of being fresher than us and we’re going to have to take that into account in the few positions we’ve got enough depth to do that in. 

[Big Red Machine]

It would be pretty harsh for Gomez not to start a final given how well he's played past few months.

I think Nunez starts and Salah doesn't.
