Liverpool legend Phil Thompson is hoping that Jurgen Klopp fields a strong starting XI in the Europa League clash against Augsburg.
The Reds will play the Bundesliga club in the first leg of the last-32 tie on Thursday before the return leg will be played at Anfield on 25 February, just days before the Capital One Cup final against Manchester City.
The Sky Sports pundit said: "I would like to see Liverpool go for the Europa League, but with a top-four finish looking a tall order, I also wanted to see them go for the FA Cup.
"Klopp can go with a strong team for the first leg as there's no game at the weekend, but it will be interesting to see how he prioritises the second leg, with the Capital One Cup final on the Sunday."
