Robbo just had 90 so I’d expect Tsimikas to start. Minamino will also start in place of Gordon. I think you’ve nailed the rest of the team.
 
The problem with the potential Bobby-Taki-Jota front 3 is there is not enough pace to stretch defenses. I would expect Ox to play on the wing and Gordon might get some minutes as well.

If Trent is out, then I guess it's Millie at RB... I would play Robbo for this game and Tsimikas against Brentford on the weekend – we need more players with a cup game mentality.
 
This ain’t gonna be pretty is it?

I would continue some kids and rotate with some seniors that weren’t in the squad today, this isn’t a competition for us.

Robbo may need to recover from the injury he was subbed off for.

It absolutely is a competition for us now we've reached the semis. I agree with playing kids up to this point. Now we go and win it.
 
Yep - this is a competition for us. This season for us needs to be about changing focus to a trophy haul. It would go down as a successful season in my eyes if we won a Wembley final. CL obviously still now the biggest focus too.
 
Really want to win this trophy, it will set us up for the rest of the season and bring back the winner mentality.

Full strength as we can muster in the circumstances. Trent could be back in training today if he tested positive on the 2nd before the Chelsea game but Robbo looked to have taken a knock yesterday.

Think Klopp may go for Ox instead of Jones in midfield with Minamino between the lines and that is a decent alternative

I'm pretty sure they said TAA tested positive AFTER the Chelsea game. I may be wrong !

I agree with this, about stretching them. I've said it a few times that I don't think Bobby and Jota offer enough pace (Jota's no slouch, but he's not going to put teams on the back foot). We can slag off Ox all we want but he provides an outlet. Without Origi available it makes sense. I'd be tempted to go with the four, where Ox can easily slot in behind the front three if needed.

You're going to leave our top scorer in the Cup out of the starting line up..??
Sorry Gordon, but it has to be Minamino in your place... Other than than, Yes I agree with the line up
