Ha! Derby beat Mannure

Thats an understatement !

Harry Wilson with a MOTM display at Old Trafford. Scoring what will probably go down as the best goal in the Cup, getting a ManUtd player sent off, and celebrating with the 'five times' in front of the Utd fans.

Yup it was a cracking goal and to also add on the GK was an Ex Red .

Really can’t stand fans who try and dismiss this competition, we have won an absolutely pathetic 2 trophies in 12 years, we are in no position to be turning up our noses at any trophy, this year we have a good enough squad to compete on all fronts so I’d like to see something like this tonight:

Mignolet
Clyne
Gomez
Matip
Moreno
Henderson
Fabinho
Keita
Mane
Sturridge
Shaqiri

I've got a feeling Chelsea are going to field a strong team tonight so we have to be careful.

Mignolet

Clyne
Matip
Gomez
Robertson

Fabinho
Hendo
Keita

Salah
Firmino
Shaqiri

I agree i want us to win this cup. When i was a kid this was the first trophy that i experienced us winning back in 95/96 when we beat bolton 2-1. I remember how excited i was when we played in the final and lifted the cup.

It's the managers like Alex Whisky nose Ferguson who are to blame for dismissing this competition, by fielding youth team players, I think it is worth winning, as we haven't won anything since 2012.

I think Chelsea will field a decent team as they are playing us, anyone else they would probably be weaker line up.

Can't make a Prediction until I see the starting line-ups.

Same as Saturday please lads.

We've got a better squad now and can field decent players in games like this.

I wonder which side Sarri will play.

Looks like Hazard could be playing unless Zola was bluffing.

I think Shaqiri, Studge, Fabinho, Matip or Gomez, Clyne and Moreno should all play.

Give the other boys a rest, seeing as we have Chelsea again and then Napoli coming up.

Confirmed line up :

Liverpool team: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Matip, Moreno, Fabinho, Milner, Keita, Shaqiri, Mane, Sturridge.

Substitutes: Grabara, Firmino, Salah, Gomez, Henderson, Solanke, Jones.

Chelsea are expected to line up as follows:

Caballero; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Cahill (c), Emerson; Barkley, Fabregas, Kovacic; Moses, Morata, Willian.

Subs: Bulka, Zappacosta, David Luiz, Kante, Jorginho, Hudson-Odoi, Hazard.

Exactly the line-up I expected, apart from Lovren, thought he wasn't fit yet. Anyway, looking forward to this one, despite the many changes.

Not a great opening 20 minutes, Chelsea by far the better side.

Yep

We're giving them too much space in Midfield. We're making Ross Barkley look like Kaka
