Your team v Chelsea (League Cup Final)
Silverware.
Winning it is largely what we're built for, isn't it? Klopp has certainly put together a side that can get it's hands on some.
There are 3 big reasons to win this one.
- It's a Cup, what else needs said?
- We could become 10-times winners, extending our lead over 8-times winners Man City
- Lifting this would further our blood-lust for any possible attempt at a Quad, however unlikely actually accomplishing that may be
Currently, one or two lads are in a race against time / day-by-day assessment phase, like Núñez. With that in mind I am picking a line-up based on the idea that those lads won't be fit on time.
.........................Kelleher
Bradley.....Konate....Van Dijk.... Robertson
..........................Endo
..........Mac Allister........Gravenberch
.......Elliott.........Gakpo........Diaz
I think it goes without saying that if Núñez is (properly) fit for Sunday I would have him in there - but with 12 League games left and the possibility of no. 20 still in our hands, I don't want to risk anyone for the sake of 90 minutes now if it could cost them their availability for a number of matches later - we're stretched as it is. As an aside, I'd be happy if Gomez features, though would rather rest him and have him for the run-in.
This game will be a welcome distraction prior to the nail-biting that will come with the title race. Naturally I am desperate to win it, but not at all costs - we don't need more lay-offs.
In a perfect World we get an injury-free win within 90 minutes - so naturally I am expecting penalties....again.
Come on Reds!
