Jurgen Klopp was visibly emotional at his young side's efforts to defeat Chelsea on Sunday, with seven academy graduates enjoying game time owing to a number of first-team injuries. Conor Bradley and maybe even James McConnell may get the nod tonight, with Darwin Nunez, Dominic Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Mo Salah rated at 50-50. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota, Alisson and Curtis Jones are all injured.
If the Saints can pull off an upset at Anfield, they'll reach their third FA Cup quarter-final in the past four seasons. Having disposed of Walsall and Watford thus far, Russell Martin's side will hope to use the FA Cup to improve a recent run of three defeats in their last four league games after going 22 games unbeaten from the end of September to mid-February. Ryan Fraser, Ross Stewart and Juan Larios all absent through injury, though top scorer Adam Armstrong is likely to get a start.
