Pre Match: Liverpool v Chelsea Weds 11th May 20:00KO

I hate to admit it, but I'm really not concerned about this one.... it is a meaningless game for both sides. Their players are just looking forward to the off-season, while ours will just be trying not to get injured before the EL final....

I hope we win for the sake of confidence and momentum, but I have a feeling this will be a boring affair....

Why is it meaningless for us? It's not if we want to secure European football for next season? I'm optimistic of beating Sevilla in the final but then again I was optimistic about us beating Citeh in the final as well. It would be stupid to put all our eggs in one basket.

I think we'll play a much stronger team than that.

Figure we will play the starting XI that will play in the final and then make a few strategic subs at teh 60 minute mark. I expect the weekends game will feature the Watford starters.

Where is littleface when you need him?  whats the lineup? Cant wait to find what 11 destroyes this cu*ts

More or less strongest X1 tonight, and near the starting X1 for the final, I think the development of Origi's recovery will influence Jürgen's options for the final, this would be my team for laters.....

              Mignolet
Clyne Kolo Lovren Moreno
            Milner Can
Firmino Coutinho Lallana
              Sturridge

Bench, Bogdan, Skrtel, Flanagan, Allen, Ojo, Benteke, Ibeeeeeyyy

Eggs in baskets, risks, cotton wool and gambling won't win you sh*t, there is such a thing called subbing, and with the baggies on the horizon I do expect up to 8 changes
For tonight tho....

2-1 Mighty Reds

Probably not far off the mark mate!

I'll be honest mate my team selections this season have been quite frankly piss poor,so don't get gambling your mortgage on it eh!

Field a strong team, and beat Chelsea, by at least a goal or two. I just hope that there are no injuries so close to a final.

Nah mate, gotta be a strong line up. Can't be putting all our eggs in the one basket trying to gain CL qualification. I'd rather have the Europa qualification in the back pocket just in case.

Live score are are showing the team that beat villareal on there line ups

Not to mention the team that needs to start the final has to get some time in and keep sharp; fairly confident it will be the finals team and a few subs in the 2nd half...Sturridge, Coutinho, Can.

Shall see what happens I suppose. Will be disappointed not to see out strongest line up tonight! Congrats on the 7k mate.

Know where you're coming from mate, we'll be fine,
we need to finish as high as possible tho, a weakened side against chavs spells disaster, we won't be playing a full strength side against WBA, I'd fancy our chances tho to not lose that one, losing tonight tho would kill off Europe aspirations league position wise.

Fully agree with you there. See what happens.

Waiting in the arkles myself here so I'll be vocal enough on here if the line up is disappointing!

It's hardly meaningless mate we could still end up with no European football next season , hypothetically of course , plus we just don't like the cnuts

Have a good time in there , would love to be in there now .

I'm pretty sure we qualify for Europa League if City finish top 4, which looks practically nailed on at the moment.... 

I don't care if we finish 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, or 10th.  None are acceptable positions for us. If we lose the final and miss out on Europe completely then Kopp will have the same opportunity BR had to focus entirely on the league for a full season,  and with Jürgen in charge that could end our title drought.  Pros and cons....

Don't think you be far away with that one mate , hope not at least

Get where you're coming from with the no distractions and same opportunity as BR, but for the most part I think most of us want to be in Europe. Ideally the CL but I don't think the EL is anything to stick our noses up at either. Look at the team we knocked out, not a bad competition at all.

We should be finishing top four minimum, I do agree. But I also think a 4th place finish is something to celebrate, there's no silverware for that only CL entry.

Going to be interesting, we have everything to play for, they have F**k all to play for.

Need to turn this lot over.

Locked, live thread is here, as Clint is on the ball.
