I don't think anyone's foolish enough to believe Stoke are not going to be chomping at the bit to show their real quality at Anfield ,and Hughes in particular will be relishing the opportunity to silence the Kop.

We have to fire from the off tomorrow and keep Stoke on the back foot ,if we get an early goal then we can quell the nerves just enough to play our own football without fretting about Stokes.

Despite their footballing renaissance wouldn't be surprised to see Stoke going for a physical, direct, balls into our box approach.

Expect this to be a really tough battle, despite our one nil lead I'm more worried about this leg than I was for the first . We're gonna have to dig deep.

Nathaniel Clyne has failed to shake off the knock meaning Jon Flanagan looks likely to line up for the Reds at right-back tonight. (Echo)

I hope the players turn up tonight, a trip to Wembley is always something to look forward to and it will be a real sickener if we fall at the final hurdle, especially given we are at home and we have a 1-0 lead from the first leg.
Finals are always great days out and I really hope Jurgen gets to experience a domestic cup final in this country, especially an all merseyside one.

I think the real danger will come from Bojan and Shaqiri mate, if they're allowed to link up play with Arnautovic then we could have real problems. That's why I think we have to take the game straight to them ,and hit them hard from the get go ,as the three I've named above aren't renowned for their tracking back ,especially Shaquiri !

If we can get an early goal i think this tie will be done and dusted.
Confident we will get the job done.

Mignolet gonna have a lot of work on his hands with Crouch up top there, can see them bombarding our box

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he is expecting "a heading festival" tonight. :laugh:

We should be able to frighten their back 4 on the counter, without Shawcross they're vulnerable

Got a Liverpool City double on so don't let me down lads! :buttrock
