I could see Can having a motm performance tonight if he starts. He always lifts it for the big games.

It's the anticipation that kills me. Like ripping off a plaster - I wish I could just know right now if we win.

Yeah he's looked off the boil in his short cameo's so far this year but I'd be confident he'll step it up tonight. He seems to have that class about him.

What's the latest on Lallana and Wijnaldum?

Latest I saw was that they hadn't trained.

Couch job for me, not arsed being surrounded by lads on both sides screaming tactical bile at the TV, acting like they know better than the managers and players. That's what I use boards for.

I'll be in work, so ill be restrained in the abuse i can shout.

I hope Lallana and Wijnaldum being out (if they are) doesn't ruin our rhythm too much.

It hasn't always been obvious who would start. I'm not on twitter but its Leicestershire reds that's posting it. Hope he is wrong tonight though as I'd prefer sturridge starting over moreno.

I'll be watching it at home on the couch with my oldest friend who is lifelong utd fan and on top of that we are plying eachother in Fantasy Football head to head this week, I'm 8 points ahead with Firmino to play and he has Coutinho. So alot at stake tonight! I've never been so openly cocky about beating Utd with him before so ye can all blame me when it goes tits up!!

prettyboy81

Work till 5.30 then onto College for some financial accounting before I bolt outta there at 7.30 into the car & on the sofa for 7.55pm. Watch the match in Ultra HD but no matter what way I watch it once we win!

Actually tbh I'd me more confident at their place, we are set up to take on big teams at their back yards but no doubt Jose will just park the bus. Oh one other thing, I have this one friend who always nails his captain choice in FF, so much so that it feels like he has some weird control over the universe, and he captained Benteke this week only to realise before the early kick off that he hadn't confirmed his lineup choice so no Benteke as captain, he was stuck with last week's captain choice, Ibra!!! I know it's bonkers but I can now feel an Ibra brace coming just cos of that....:pac:

Heading over to this. Nerves kicking in now!

Well as long as we score more goals than them he is welcome to grab a couple. I'd prefer if he didn't but if we win I won't care too much.

Confirmed by BBC to be both out.
Lallana sure took his time, but I admit he's one of Liverpools most improved players this season. Glad he's out in this case.
Oh yea, Hope we win, hate Liverpool, I like Lemons.

I noticed that the Teamsheet leaking has stopped recently. I wonder if they found the mole.

I think they put up a temporary fence in training around Melwood so the people who stand on the bins can't see in....

Or was that a thing towards the end of BR reign?

Could have sworn I read that somewhere, or I dreamt it up this afternoon daydreaming about the match...

Edit - Nope, I'm not nuts :

We have a very good home record under Klopp, 2 losses I think. Tough game tonight for United under the lights at Anfield.

Give them hell!

Almost identical to myself! Work until 5.30, accounting classes in town from 6.15 to 9.45. The break is at 8 so I might have to duck out then......

marklazarcovic

be fcking great if moreno had a 'dossena' tonight

Apparently Suarez is attending tonight. Hopefully we'll get another celebration from the stands to add to the gif repository.

MD1990

I am going to miss the game.I missed Leicester & Chelsea this season too. Could be a good luck omen I hope.

Iused2likebusts

Supposedly its now Lucas starting cm and milner at lb according to that bloke on twitter.

I'm guessing 3-2 or 4-2 to us with an Ibra brace. I haven't been this confident of getting a result since a certain Chelsea game in 2014!

mosstin

First goal absolutely vital tonight, I think.

I prefer Lucas at CB these days, to be honest. Henderson will have to be on his game, and really doing the water carrying, although that said, at least Lucas' presence will allow him to be on the front foot and that bit higher up the pitch.

Some of Henderson's worst games for us have been against United too, actually.

Last one too. It'd be nice to get all the ones in the middle as well though if I'm being honest.

Only game I missed so far was the Burnley one. I better rub my belly for good luck. :pac:

Why can't people just wait until 7 PM?

Good stuff I'm happy with him in front of the defence tonight. Cool head and experience to give the flash lads a platform to perform.

Jaysus, you're worse than that old lad, mick something was it? :pac:

Don't see the need for Lucas in this game. Utd won't be trying to pass through us and Lucas is limited against tall lads obviously.

Potential Underachiever

So, Ings doesn't make the squad never mind start!

Happy that Milner is staying at LB, would rather Lallana starting than Sturridge but what can ye do.

Brilliant line up.
Coutinho playing where he's best, no Moreno &no Lucas.

Top class from klopp.

Exactly people believing Twitter about Moreno and Lucas. Surprised seem didn't think that Suarez was playing as well.

Potential Underachiever

That twitter leak seems to have been plugged too.

hadoken13

Always nervous about these games as form usually goes out the window, as per most of the time they beat us in the league under Van Gaal.

I'll take 1 nil.

Vicxas

Can starting, very excited.

One_Of_Shanks

Chuffed with our starting eleven personally. Strongly fancy us to win this. And it's not often over the years that I said that ahead of a game against this shower (well maybe except for when Moyes was in charge).

We'll do this!

Believe!!!

J Mysterio

Here we feckin go!

Off to the match thread for this one

Agent Coulson

Gerrard, Suarez and Agger all at the game.

Kinda surprised Barca have let Suarez over with there game against City on Wednesday.

Klopp smiling, Mourinho looks depressed.

Lallana's energy and movement is hugely missing from the attack.
