Ake Captain. Nice :)

No reason we can't go and win that.

Not to be negative but is there any point in even sending the first team to this game? If we get to a quarter final we’ll be playing the youth team anyway

Just thought I’d put a little good luck message to all those attempting the climb up to the gods tonight. Personally, I’ll be climbing for the North West Illness Research society.

Nice to se Ake as captain for the day, he has been solid for the last year or two

Surprised by no Nunes, and that Kovacic is fit already.

Grealish midfield? or Gomez being given that role? Interesting.

Nunes has upgraded to important status. I knew it would happen as soon as I saw him play in game 1. He brings a different aspect, yet comfortable enough to play our system.

Do we know that though?

The League Cup Quarter Finals are scheduled 1 day before the Club World Cup Semi Finals but how do we know the EFL won't let us rearrange?

The only reason Liverpool couldn't rearrange 2 years ago is because they had no free mid-weeks before the League Cup Semi-Finals, we do.

As I say that’s with calculators, no big deal these days.
