Birmingham are likely to be without injured stars David Dunn, Jiri Jarosik, Muzzy Izzet and Chris Sutton for the FA Cup clash with Liverpool.

DJ Campbell is cup-tied while Emile Heskey is struggling to overcome an ankle injury.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez will be left wondering whether to stick with the 3-5-2 formation that helped his side beat Newcastle on Sunday.

Robbie Fowler will not be available as he is cup-tied.

------------------------------------------------------------

Birmingham (from): Maik Taylor, Melchiot, Cunningham, Martin Taylor, Clapham, Pennant, Johnson, Butt, Lazaridis, Heskey, Kilkenny, Forssell, Vaesen, Tebily, Clemence, Dunn, Jarosik, Painter, Latka.

Liverpool (from): Reina, Finnan, Kromkamp, Carragher, Hyypia, Agger, Warnock, Traore, Luis Garcia, Alonso, Hamann, Kewell, Morientes, Crouch, Cisse, Dudek.

------------------------------------------------------------

Birmingham manager Steve Bruce:

"We've got to stay in the Premier League for the sake of everything connected with the club.
"But, for the prestige, the FA Cup is a fantastic tournament.

"If you get this far in the competition, you can start smelling the hot dogs a little bit."

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez:

"It is possible we will keep the system for the Birmingham match because it was good.

"We used three centre-backs and had Stephen Warnock and Jan Kromkamp as wing backs and it worked well.

"The movement of Harry Kewell also caused problems."

i will be happy with a 0-1 win...... this would be my team...(rest reina, warnock, crouch & kewell for the derby)

Dudek
Finnan Carra Agger Traore
Cisse Alonso Hamann Garcia
Gerrard
Morientes

Mate is that team a wind-up ?
Why rest Reina, keeprs cant exactly get tired...mentally maybe, but he had a 3 game break not so long ago.
Also why drop Hyypia ?
We should play our strongest team, this is our only chance of a trophy this season and we are away.
They have nothing to lose so all the pressure is on us.
Traore starting Are you kidding ?
There best player is Pennant who plays right wing and would be one on one with Traore most of the game if you have Garcia ahead of him. There would only be one winner there.
I would go with a normal 4-4-2
Reina

Finnan Carra Hyypia Agger

Gerrard Alonso Hamann Kewell

Garcia

Crouch

i just think it has been an absolutely long season..... We need to rest a few of our players. This and the fact that birmingham is a sh11ty team makes me confident that we can win there with traore and morientes..... (remember, moro got a goal against fulham.....so this could be a start of a goal-scoring spree for him............

)

No matter which team is put up by rafa, we will thrash birmingham 3-0...although i would be happy with a 1-0 win.

We are on a roll...birmingham will not be a match for us... :no

While you are probably right rock, is it worth the risk ?
We are getting towards the latter stages of a major competition.
I know we have a massive game sat but i also think this game is massive...play the strongest team and bring players off if possible.

Morientes and Cisse up front. Garcia on the wing.

by **redmikey** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 5:39 pm

no point in putting out a weak team after we knocked the scum out,

this will be interesting to see how rafa approached this one, he has tended to use his big guns as much as possible this season because we have a stronger squad, gerrard ,carra will start the rest is up in the air

by **Graeme Noble** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 5:44 pm

This is our only chance of silverwear (minus super cup) this year. So we have to put out a strong side and learn from our mistakes from last year, the Burnley disgrace!

by **kopite** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 5:45 pm

Reina

Finnan Carra Agger Warnock

Garcia Gerrard Alonso Kewell

Nando

Cisse

by **Graeme Noble** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 5:53 pm

Yep, thats the team I would go for!
