Liverpool take on Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Tuesday night and going into the match, the manager will see the return of some of his key players.
The Reds suffered a shock 3-0 loss to Watford in the Premier League this past weekend meaning they have finally tasted defeat in the league this season.
And right now they will be eager to avoid back to back losses and prevent getting knocked out of the FA Cup.
There’s a big chance that the Liverpool manager could name a handful of youngsters in his starting line-up at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night but the manager did not reveal his plans during his pre-match press conference.
But Jurgen Klopp has admitted that both James Milner and young Joe Gomez are fit and available for selection.
Speaking to the press, the Liverpool manager has said: “No new injury problems. Milly is back, Joe too. The others, no.
“Jordan and Milly were in the dressing room (at Watford). I love that Hendo is getting recognition now in his absence, but his absence and Milly was not the reason we lost. We didn’t deliver. We’re not blind, we saw that.
“The defeat (to Watford) has nothing to do with tomorrow night. We have no clue what Chelsea are doing so why should Chelsea know what we are doing?
“The line-up will be shown tomorrow night, not now and here.
“We always play the team that will give us the best opportunity to get to the next rounds, for different reasons.”
James Milner could come into the starting line-up straight away since the manager is already without Henderson and Naby Keita. But we don’t think he would want to risk using Joe Gomez especially when he has Joel Matip at his disposal.
