Liverpool (H) - Carabao Cup 4th Round - Thu 22nd Dec, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

The England boys are due in training this afternoon, (Sky reporter who had spoken to Ilkay). Pep said the others who came in this morning are better prepared than the ones sitting out the World Cup. Probably Bernie and Cancelo in this afternoon as well.

And Ruben presumably?

What a woman; we came over a day early for our grandson’s first game because he has a stadium tour in the morning; M62 West closed (we come over Woodhead anyway) so everything decides to come over that way to, 4 1/2 hours and we took a short cut through Glossop otherwise it would have taken another hour - at least. The joys of following City. CTID

Does anyone miss the days of replays?

This is my first ever message here, but considering Pep says the people who came in today are in better shape than the people who sat out the WC, could this mean we have a strong bench for tomorrow? I still presume we'll see the same predicted lineup that the consensus has selected, but I feel hopeful

Nope

I posted the other day and will have to see if it’s correct but I’ve been told Ruben is out for a while, from my mate talking to a Club employee at the Girona game, he’s usually right with his info but we’ll see.

Pep has a massive hard on for giving players a big rest after national tournaments. Seems weird but one can’t really fault his success in the league over the last 5-6 years.

I was just literally saying the exact same thing to my brother. I put it a little differently, lol, but I came to the same conclusion. How can we argue with his results? Not just the past 5 or 6 years, but over the 15 years since he started with Barcelona B.

I think Laporte will also play, but other than that presume that will be the team. None of the others are even back in training yet, so can't see them being involved.

Agree. Laporte in, Ake to the left, Gomez out. I'm hopin'.

Looking at the telly guide, most channels are full of them…
