MC) Jordan Henderson
The midfield is where Liverpool will be able to dominate and control the game, so Rodgers will likely stick with his first-choice pairing of Lucas and Jordan Henderson. Henderson has started every game this term, and we don’t expect this afternoon to be any different.
MC) Lucas
Lucas has made more tackles than any other player in the Premier League, and will likely sit deep and dictate play for the Reds. He could be withdrawn early though for Steven Gerrard who continues to make his comeback from injury.
AMC) Luis Alberto
The young Spaniard could be given his first start of the season in the FA Cup, hoping to score his first goal for the Reds in his favoured no.10 position. Rodgers will likely rest the excellent Coutinho, who will no doubt be back for Liverpool’s Premier League match next time out.
