Horrified Liverpool fans hate Jurgen Klopp's 'FA Cup third round' line-up vs Benfica
Liverpool fans have got the jitters after seeing Jurgen Klopp's line-up for tonight's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Benfica.The Reds are strong favourites to win the tie having secured a 3-1 victory in Lisbon last week, but after fielding a team that wouldn't look out of place in an FA Cup third-round fixture, Liverpool fans are genuinely concerned that it might end up being a long old night for them.First-team shoe-ins Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold have all been dropped, while the likes of Joe Gomez and Konstantinos Tsimikas have been handed unexpected run-outs in defence.Elsewhere, James Milner has replaced Thiago in midfield, Ibrahima Konate comes in for Van Dijk, and Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino lead the line (check out the full line-up below)."That's a lot of changes for only having a 2 goal advantage," one nervous fan tweeted."Feels like we're underestimating them," said a second, while another wrote: "I get the need to rotate and keep our strongest fit, but I really don't know about that midfield."Is Jurgen Klopp's line-up too weak? Let us know what you think in the comments section.A fourth fan wrote: Is this am FA Cup third-round game? … Guys see what happened to Real yesterday? … 2 goal lead is nothing they can comeback."Klopp will almost certainly be keen to keep his stars as fresh as possible, especially with Liverpool still fighting on all three available fronts, and an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City coming in just a few days.And with just a point separating them and City at the top of the Premier League, the title run-in is shaping up to be one of the most nail-biting in history.Let's see if Klopp's risk pays off, shall we?

James Milner names four Liverpool stars in all-time teammates XI but leaves out Mo Salah
Liverpool stars in his best ever team-mates XI and even had room to squeeze in Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer.The three-time Premier League winner, 36, has enjoyed a decorated career playing for some of the biggest clubs in England.And despite the world-class talent in Milner's XI, there are still some high-profile omissions - neither Mohamed Salah nor Sadio Mane appear in his star-studded side.But Liverpool selections did feature heavily in the Englishman's 11 with current team-mates Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk all making the cut.Partnering the Dutch defender at centre-back is Jonathan Woodgate, a Leeds United team-mate of Milner's who he describes as a "superstar.""Woody was exceptional at Leeds and so unlucky with injuries, but before that we all thought he was a superstar," Milner told Four Four Two."Put it this way: I’m leaving both Rio Ferdinand and Vincent Kompany out of my side, which shows just how much I thought of him.” Popping up at left-back is Chelsea and England ace Ashley Cole who Milner described as the "fittest footballer around" - high praise indeed from a 36-year-old Premier League regular.Sitting on the fence in the age-old Steven Gerrard vs Frank Lampard debate, the Liverpool midfielder has named both in his best XI.Though he did note the current Aston Villa boss as "the best all-round footballer I’ve ever played with."HAVE YOUR SAY! Should James Milner have included Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane? Let us know in the comments section.Completing the midfield in his preferred 4-3-3 formation is Manchester City legend David Silva, with whom Milner won his maiden Premier League title in 2012.The silky Spaniard was praised for possessing the ability to "decide a game on
