The game for which Jurgen Klopp gave Salah and Firmino only 30 minutes each against the home defeat versus Burnley. Will he play the pair from the off or conserve them again for Thursday's visit to Tottenham? It could go on indefinitely. One thing is certain, he'll be fired up throughout the match. Solsjkaer, perched six points above him at the top of the league, will give playing time to summer signing Donny van de Beek who started in the 3rd round victory over Watford but has yet to earn bragging rights in the league. At any rate, as a knockout tie, it should be a more exciting affair than the dull 0-0 league meeting at Anfield last week. It's 100 years since Liverpool won in the FA Cup away to Man Utd, a 2-1 replay victory on January 12th 1921 when second half goals from Bill Lacey and Harry Chambers overcame the first half pot by Ted Partridge in front of a 29,000 crowd. 90 mins Man Utd 11/8 Liverpool 9/5 Extra Time Man Utd 10/1 Liverpool 11/1 Penalties Man Utd 12/1 Liverpool 12/1  A hundred years ago Ted Partridge potted a first half goal which Liverpool keeper Elisha Scott could not get down fast enough to stop.  But Harry Chambers potted the second half winner for Liverpool after Bill Lacey's leveller. Utd resurgence? Maybe I got it wrong, but if things turn out bad for Klopp, he will end up 6th in the league for the likes of Everton have still games to play. I think it is time to come home, Jürgen.
