Albion v Liverpool

FA CUP - FOURTH ROUND

Venue: The American Express Community Stadium

Kick-off: 13:30 GMT
Referee: David Coote
Assistants: Darren Cann, Simon Long

​

Adam Lallana and Levi Colwill will be missing as Brighton seek a repeat of the 3-0 victory they secured against Liverpool at Amex Stadium just two weeks ago.

Moises Caicedo will not play after being told to take time off until after Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Jurgen Klopp could persevere with a midfield trio of Thiago Alcantara, Naby Keita and Stefan Bajcetic, after they helped the Reds get clean sheets in their past two games.

Fabio Carvalho, however, has not trained this week and is unlikely to feature, while Nat Phillips has also been suffering with a heavy cold.

3 points today please lads, no excuses.

 

[B-right-on]

Going to be more tricky than the PL game. Klipperty finally got the balls to play his talented young guns.

Caicedo not in the squad and Tross/Caicedo bollocks showing a bit of lack of harmony in the camp

Still think we've got enough to get the win over the line.

Will get to watch this game as I have a day off. I don’t care much for the cup but nice to be able to see a match and not just highlights.

Is Mac suspended today - or v Bmuff?

Coote, Swarbrick and Hooper?!

Oh well, there's always next year.

Hoping the boys rise above the Trossard/Caicedo shenanigans and make a big statement here. I can imagine Dunky, Gross and a few others being really up for this game. Here's hoping.

Hopefully the boys will be fired up and in bullish mood

 

[Icy Gull]

I have a distinct lack of enthusiasm for this game at the moment with all that’s going on. Hopefully that will change once I’m there

 

[Insel affe]

Hmmmm

i was really excited about today, however for some reason, I’m filled with dread, both on and off the pitch.
when was the press conference? because it sounds like MC pays no attention to his dad whatsoever

Same. The whole Caicedo thing has really put a dampener on it for me, and I was really hoping we might have a proper go at the cup this year. Ho hum.

Does anyone pull Liverpool's pants down 3 times in the same season?

Hopefully Bournemouth will be a better experience.

One way or the other I reckon. My fear is that the team will share the low mojos here and put in a flat performance. Hope you're right and they play a blinder. Either way, like others, my enthusiasm level right now for the match is very low.

Chant of the day for tv should be

he deals in bullshit, he deals in bullshit
Fabrizio Romano he deals in bullshit

“Does anyone pull Liverpool's pants down 3 times in the same season?”

I have to say that I have been thinking that..... They will have learned from the last encounter. However, I am often wrong so maybe we stuff them again. Let’s rally the troops, gee ourselves up and prove that we dare still a good team without Mr M C !

 

[AmexRuislip]

We're a winner ..
