I have decided to start this one early because;
1. It's a historically difficult game
2. We're in the title race. Outsiders yes, but in it.
3. It's the first of 3 consecutive away games
Now a starting 11 of Boruc, Clyne, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw, Rodriguez, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Lllana, Ramirez, and Lambert is quite impressive. Glad Osvaldo has moved on though. It has to be noted that some of these guys are not match fit yet, and that they have nothing to play for in the grand scheme of things.
Midfield control is key, given how the game at Anfield went. Toure may return if the rumours about Rodgers' annoyance with Agger are true and him and Skrtel will need all the help they can get. Allen probably to start. I have a feeling that Sterling is more likely to be benched than Coutinho if that's the case. Sterling has played a lot for a 19 year old, can potentially be more effective off the bench and was sacrificed yesterday.
another high scoring game. 2-3. Hopefully Sakho can be back for Old Trafford two weeks later...
