Another cup final and hopefully another 3 points.

Both Henderson and Lallana are ruled out, although the latter should be back in training next week. No one knows if we'll use the same 5 at the back as we did last week (or revert to 4-3-3) but Coutinho and Firmino are expected to start.

If we win, we'll go 9 points clear of Manure and they'll HAVE to beat Chelsea (which kicks off 4:30 on sunday) to stand any chance of reeling us or Man City in.

These lot are a decent side, been playing decent this season.
At home they have been ok lost 5 in total. Recently 2 home losses vs Southampton and Palace.

This is going to be a tough one im sure Pulis will park the bus and try to snatch a goal from somewhere.

We can't afford to be 1-0 down again. We won't always make comebacks like we did vs Stoke.

We've only got 6 games left (including this one) so we are at the stage of the season where mistakes are terminal. We blew a great opportunity to qualify for the CL at the end of last season when we lost to Seville and it would be a huge kick in the nuts to fall at the final fence again.
We've been saying it all season but this one really is a must win.
Come on you reds.

WBA gone off the boil since they beat Arsenal. Another team who are probably just drifting towards the end of the season.Defend well (especially from set pieces), match them up in the physical battles and we will beat them 2-0/2-1 imo

We need to hold the fort till the reinforcements arrives (AKA lallana and maybe Hendo).

If only we had just couple of games to go. 6 finals are just too much .

West brom recent form -LLWDLL

Our side will most likely be..

         Mignolet

Clyne Matip Lovren Milner

          Lucas
     Can        Wijnaldum

Firmino            Coutinho

          Origi

1 year on from that epic match last year.
Liverpool 4-3 Dortmund.

What a match that was.

They are the best side in the league in set pieces. If we are organized in defending them, it'll come down to whether our front 3 or 4 are able to break them. I'd actually consider having Moreno start here with Milner playing the Mane role if Firmino fails to make it.Doubt Klopp would start Sturridge but that would obviously be preferable with Origi playing wide right.

They've scored 14 goals i think from corners, tricky side for sure.
We're bound to have a lot of possession so we have to make the most out of it.

Yeah good point about set pieces, they will deffo be a concern, especially given we are rubbish at defending them.
Simon was the hero last week but who'd put it past him being the villain on Sunday? If he does decide to come off his line it's imperative that he gets a solid fist to the ball, he can't afford to be flapping around against this lot.

We all know what we can expect from a pulis side tomorrow so we have got to be properly prepared with a gameplan. I think that will be a Counter attack approach but it will be all for nothing if we don't tighten up at the back.

This is the type of game we've been dropping points in for a while now, so will be very important we don't give anything away. Pulis always had Ferguson's D!ck up his *****, and has seemed to gain a vengeful hate towards Liverpool for whatever reason, so he'll want to disrupt our hopes of CL more than anything. As we all expect, they'll defend deep and look to hit on the counter. Our pointless crosses will do nothing for us today, and they'll look for fouls and corners as big opportunities. We need to avoid fouls in our half, and not give any cheap corners away. Luckily Coutinho has been on good form lately, and I thought Sturridge actually looked pretty solid last week, so wouldn't mind seeing him start or get some good minutes.

Man City beating Southampton 3-0 so go 3rd having played the same number of games. Tomorrow is a big game and i'll take any kind of 3 points be it a scrappy 1-0 or a 3-0

We have never beaten a Tony Pulis side away from home in the prem. Make no mistake we are going to have our hands full tomorrow against this lot.

Really hoping we can stay in form and dispatch the next 6 sides with relative ease.

They are all mid-table and most of them are safe from relegation (bar Middlesborough).

The all look easy on paper but we are such a topsy-turvy side we could draw / lose all of them if we don't show up.

Klopp needs to get us 4th place so we can at least try and bring in some decent players next season.
