Swap Ox for Chirivella and that's on the money. Minamino felt his calf tighten so expect Elliott over him maybe.
Shaq still not fit?
Naby Keita could be available for Sunday's FA Cup clash with Shrewsbury Town but Liverpool await further news on Sadio Mane's hamstring injury.
Dejan Lovren is in contention for the fourth-round tie at New Meadow, though James Milner and Xherdan Shaqiri are unlikely to be involved.
The manager was asked for an update on Mane, who was withdrawn after ‘feeling something’ in the first half of Thursday’s win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, at his pre-match press conference.
“No, I think he is in the scan in this moment,” replied Klopp. “They didn’t call me out of the scan, so, no. [Fingers crossed], yes.”
On other fitness concerns in his squad, the boss said: “Dejan trained completely normally, until the game it’s a week [back] so should be fine.
“For Shaq and Millie, I think it’s too early. Naby, we will have to see. My information is that he will be part of training today and then we have to see.
“It was not too long, but how he looks and so on. For the boys that didn’t play longer than a half yesterday, today will be a very, very important session and kind of an intense session.
“It’s minus two [days] to the game so there is always intensity. We will see if he can be part of that completely – then he would be an option. If not, then not.”

Lovren is game
Keita maybe
No, Milner, Shaq and Mane.
I have Ox there because he hasn't impressed in the games he played so far this month and Fabinho is on his way back to full fitness. I'm thinking Fabs starts against West Ham with Hendo and Wijnaldum.
Origi hattrick.
Salop is French for whore, I think.
What the hell does the title mean?
Anyway, the team for the most part picks itself:
4-3-3:
----------------Adrian--------------
----------Gomez------Matip---------
Williams----Fabinho------Larouci
--------Lallana------Jones----------
Elliott----------Origi------Minamino
Subs: Kelleher, Lovren, Hoever, Chirivella, Keita, Ox, Salah

"The club are nicknamed Salop, meaning ‘from Shropshire’ the county in which Shrewsbury is based. In 1972 it became the official county nickname but has been that of the football club for some time. Salop is taken from the Latin translation of ‘Floreat Salopia’. Other nicknames include simply ‘Blues’ or ‘Town’."
Gomez, really?
Yeah I'm with you, Lovren for Gomez.
The crucial question of course is ... Shrews-bury or Shrows-bury ?
Coming from the Wirral we know how to pronounce these things. From over the river they don't have a snowballs chance in Hell of pronouncing Shrewsbury correctly!
Shrews-Bury. As anyone who lives there will attest to.
Rest everyone.
We can not afford another injury to any of our first team players at this stage.
If the kids/back ups get through great. If not so be it.
When Mane pulls a hammy you know you walking a fine line.

Yeah, that’s one position I’m not sure about - if I were Klopp I would be wary of starting 2 CBs in their first game after long injury lay-offs next to each other, even against lower league opposition. He might still do it, but from the standpoint of the performance, it would be better to use one defender who is in rhythm and good form and let others try to match his level.
Rurik, my main man, my dude...it's against Shrewsbury...
There's lower opposition and there's Shrewsbury. This is a midtable league one team. I think we're fine with two top class defenders on the pitch despite their two month injury layoff.
I always said "Shrowsbury".
I read up about it the other week, apparently even within the town there is a difference of opinion on the pronunciation, I think the posh ones use "shrow", so I'm in good company
Salope I think.
I’d settle for this team selection.
They might do a Bury if he scores against them.
