FA Cup: Our full team could have drawn with Plymouth too! - Klopp

Jurgen Klopp has defended his decision to pick a young team in Liverpool's FA Cup draw against fourth-tier Plymouth Argyle.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says a 0-0 home draw with Plymouth Argyle could also have been the result had he picked his regular starting XI.

The Reds made 10 changes to their line-up against their League Two opponents on Sunday, with only Emre Can keeping his place from their Premier League draw at Sunderland for the FA Cup third-round tie.

Premier League: Mourinho - Schweinsteiger will get chances to play in January

Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger will be handed the chance to play his part in this month's busy run of fixtures.

Bastian Schweinsteiger is set to receive first-team opportunities for Manchester United during January, manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed.

The 32-year-old has only played four minutes of action since March - as a late substitute in November's EFL Cup win over West Ham – having previously been exiled by the manager at the start of the season.

But Mourinho has revealed Schweinsteiger's positive attitude, fitness and the United's busy stretch of fixtures this month make it likely he will see more regular action.

Then Scott Hogan. Then Moussa Dembele.
