Gutted that Glen is injured. Wasn't expecting it since Rodgers said their weren't any new injury news in the pre match build up, but maybe Glen seemed ok at the time.
Starting Jones over Reina is a bold choice, because he knows he'll get crucified for it if he makes any cockups which cost us the game - but he's the manager and Jones has kept 2 clean sheets out of 2 since being called upon, convincingly so too. And he did play in the FA cup semi last year so he's played in a bigger derby than this one before.
Big performances needed from Enrique and Sahin today.
Suso, Sterling and Wisdom all starting their first derby too, so it's a massive day for them. Good luck lads, the likes of Stevie, Suarez, Agger and Skrtel will be there to show you the way.
Allen and Sahin get their first taste of a merseyside derby too. Big battle in the midfield today and that big clumsy get Fellaini - but he is always moments away from a red card, especially in a game like today. Nevertheless, he and Jelavic will be the biggest concerns today.
