Starting XI against Wigan?

[SB]

With just over 24 hrs to the match against Wigan I can't help but think who will be rested for the CL match this week against the Chavs? I read the reports that this match is important and we are only focused on this match blah blah blah but do you think that Rafa will play a full strength side or rest a few plaers with Chelsea in mind? Me, I have absolutely no idea what the wizzard will do!

I'd expect to see something like this!

Pepe
Finnan
Carra
Sami
Riise
Pennant
Mascherano
Xabi
Gonzo
Crouch
Fowler

Subs
Dudek
Zenden
Kuyt
Agger/ paletta
Arbeloa

I wouldn't chance Stevie and would only use Agger and Kuyt if absolutely needed. At the end of the day, it's Wigan, we are home and we have bigger fish to fry only a few days later.

[The Glove]

I expect a full strength side. We need to be ready for Chelsea and leaving half a team out wont make us so. Also beating Wigan would secure atleast 4th so a full turn out with plenty of good football and goals to make us all feel better going into Wednesday.

Dunno about Rafa but I wouldn't risk any of the players he wants to start with against the Chavs.

My team tomorrow:

Dudek
Peltier
Insua
Paletta
Hyypia
Sissoko
Zenden
Pennant
Gonzalez
Fowler
Kewell - if fit

Wednesday's team:

Reina
Finnan
Arbeloa
Carragher
Agger
X.Alonso
Mascherano
Gerrard
Riise
Kuyt
Crouch

I'm not entirely sure this post isn't tongue in cheek, but if its not, then this is absolute suicide. Might as well not turn up
