So Klopp's has confirmed, Ward, Ox and Grujic will start tomorrow.

Maybe Solanke will get his first start too.

Vardy has a groin problem so he will not feature which is a plus for us.

Based on that, my team would be:

Ward
Gomez Lovren Klavan Robertson
Milner Ejaria Grujic
Salah Solanke Oxlade-Chamberlain

Subs: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Henderson, Can, Coutinho, Ings (if fit, if not Sturridge) .

Gives us the ability to give Firmino a rest and Coutinho some match fitness later in the game. I've picked Gomez over TAA at RB simply because Gomez is probably better placed to deal with Leicester City's attacking pace our wide, even in Vardy's absence.

Even our third team looks decent!

Vardy will be rested. He'll play weekend for sure.

We really need to try Gomez at center back, imo. League Cup's a good chance to do that.

I would go with

Ward
TAA Matip Gomez Robertson
Grujic Henderson Wijnaldum
Salah Solanke Ox

I highly doubt Klopp will giving Ejaria the role at this point of being the distributor of the ball in midfield. Also expect him to give Can a rest but Coutinho could start.

If Coutinho does start I would put him in for Wijnaldum. If Klopp goes with either Klavan or Lovren at LCB then Gomez at RB for me.

Playing Klavan is like giving the opposition a one goal head start.
