      Not sure i'd have the likes of Solanke, Markovic or Phillips in my line-ups. I'm all for using the squad but it would also be nice to progress as well given we haven't won anything for nigh on a decade.

      My line-up would be.


                                     Mignolet


      Clyne               Matip             Gomez          Moreno

                                     Fabinho

                          Keita                Milner


           Shakiri               Studge               Jones


      I'd have Mane, Salah and Bobby on the bench.

      I agree with this, we need to have a mix in the team and not rest everybody. I'd actually be tempted to play Henderson as well, just to anchor the midfield and rest Milner.

      I am looking forward to see the likes of Clyne, Moreno and Fabinho getting some minutes and to see if Shaqiri/Sturridge can have a good showing to push for more playing time. Should be a tough fixture and I would expect Chelsea to field a side of bench players, reserves and odd first team player.

      As far as line up I think your going see something like this though I think see a lot different movement and position within the front three (maybe even a narrow formation with Shaqiri behind Sturridge/Solanke).
      -----------------Migs--------------------
      Clyne----Gomez-----Matip-----Moreno
      ----------------Fabinho----------------
      --------Milner-----------Ketia---------
      -----Shaqiri----Sturridge-----Solanke-

      For sure Fabinho, Sturridge, Shaqiri have to start this game. I wouldn't be surprised to see Henderson in there as well. Lovren if he's fit, Migs, Moreno and Clyne, Matip and then take your pick of the last two maybe a couple of up and comers from the reserves?

      I also think Markovic should start just to give him one last chance. I'd also go with Solanke up front as I think starting Sturridge would be a big risk. It's not that I don't like Sturridge but I think Danny is now an impact sub and starting too many games would be detrimental to his fitness. He's still made of glass and I think he would be better served by just coming off the bench. With his level of fitness improved so far, he is a very important player on the bench to come on and nick a goal.

                            Alisson
      Clyne      Lovren     Matip       Moreno
                             Hendo
                Fabinho          Keita
      Shaqiri         Solanke         Markovic

      Shaqiri         Solanke         Markovic

      I would wager that Markovic is persona non grata as far as the manager is concerned and will never play for LFC again.

      I agree, but we need Sturridge in place of Solanke.
      Solanke should wait for another chance, he was given chances last season and didn't take them.

      Would like to see Fabinho and Keita get a start and hell why not 2 up front with Sturridge and Solanke.

      And maybe a wildcard in Curtis Jones.

      Maybe Cho Chang, the wee Scottish lass from Harry Potter?

      She doesn’t look like much of a player mind, I don’t see her tearing Clyne apart as they suggest.
