Many Liverpool fans have called for Jurgen Klopp to field his strongest possible team for tomorrow night’s FA Cup fifth round clash against Chelsea, in response to a This Is Anfield debate involving Karl Matchett, Guy Drinkel and Henry Jackson.
?? Contrasting views on how the Reds should line up against Chelsea – should we rotate or go all-in for a response? | @HenryJackson87, @karlmatchett and @guydrinkel discusshttps://t.co/jRPtPFBm7P

The former two both feel that the Reds should go with a strong line-up for the game at Stamford Bridge in order to try and bounce back immediately from the defeat at Watford and with preparation for next week’s Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid in mind, while Jackson would prefer a mixture of first team mainstays and fringe players to ensure that key men are protected.

Liverpool fielded the youngest starting XI in the club’s history in their last FA Cup outing against Shrewsbury a month ago, with Klopp refusing to consider the first team regulars as that replay fell during the Premier League’s winter break. The Reds also had a much-changed line-up in the third round win over Everton, when Klopp made nine changes and handed debuts to three players, including Takumi Minamino.
With the Merseysiders still well on course to win the Premier League despite Saturday’s loss, and with the prospect of a first FA Cup quarter-final since 2015 in their sights, these Liverpool fans on Twitter want to see a strong starting XI against Chelsea tomorrow night:
I’d go all in because it should be all about the trophies now. Prioritize this & rest guys vs Bournemouth. Who cares if we win the league by 20 or 22 or 25 points? Winning the PL, CL & FA Cup would be fitting for this season. Only getting the PL would be slightly disappointing.
