After a 1-1 draw against Manchester United, Liverpool heads to an FA Cup replay against Plymouth Argyle Wednesday. In the 0-0 draw at Anfield two weeks ago, Liverpool sent out its youngest squad ever and will probably do something similar Wednesday.
Loris Karius has been relegated to Cup duty for Liverpool but has played well in his last two outings.
He wasn’t challenged much against Plymouth in the first meeting, but his distribution was good the few times he touched the ball.
Here’s how the Reds will line up tonight against Plymouth, and here’s who we predicted Klopp would start for this one.
#LFC team v @Only1Argyle: Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Lucas, Moreno, Stewart, Ejaria, Coutinho, Woodburn, Origi, Sturridge #PLYLIV

Trent Alexander-Arnold had a really strong effort against Manchester United filling in for the injured Nathaniel Clyne and will get another chance to play on Wednesday. Joe Gomez returned from injury after 15 months off in the first meeting and he will get another start Wednesday. Ragnar Klavan and Alberto Moreno will play alongside them.
Kevin Stewart and Ovie Ejaria are most likely going to start and get some experience in the game.
Klopp could put either Emre Can or Georginio Wijnaldum in there next to them, but we are leaning towards Can.
Daniel Sturridge didn’t play against United over the weekend, so he is most likely going to start against Plymouth.
Youngsters Ben Woodburn and Sheyi Ojo will start along with him as Liverpool looks to advance.
GK Lorius Karius
RB Trent Alexander-Arnold – CB Joe Gomez – CB Ragnar Klavan – LB Alberto Moreno
MF Ovie Ejaria – MF Kevin Stewart – MF Emre Can
RW Sheyi Ojo – FW Daniel Sturridge – LW Ben Woodburn
