Any team that has Bellamy in their starting lineup can pull a big surprise at any point in time.

They definitely should not be underestimated.

He hasn't played the last 4, not even on the bench the last 2. Injured?

[Chazza]

Knee injury but might be back at the weekend.

[RedReet]

I'm sure he'd like to make even a small cameo.

As long as he understands he's not allowed score unless they are 6 nil down at the time

yep but it seems he'll be ready for Saturday as Chazza said.

Time for Rodgers to light the Christmas tree formation.

Suarez
Coutinho - Alberto
Henderson - Lucas - Allen
Flanagan - Sakho - Skrtel - Johnson
Mignolet

No way would I drop Sterling after last week.

Same team and same formation for me. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

[Shaggy]

Yep same for me too.

[Muddled]

I certainly won't be complaining if Sterling does start, I just think Sterling will get doubled up on. I'd like to see a little guile through the centre and having both Alberto and Coutinho more central, I think they could cause some mischief.

Saying all that, I read an article in FourFourTwo about how Cardiff play a lop sided 4-3-3 with a lot of their play featuring heavily on their right. This could mean a lot of space for our right side and an opportunity for Johnson and Sterling to exploit. However, I think the article dated back to September so they may have altered their tactics recently.

Cardiff have won once away from home and managed only four goals. They've taken four points from Manchester United and Manchester City at home, but away from home I'm hoping (and believe) we will blow them out of the water.

Cardiff will play counter attack, and have their defence in and around the centre of the box to man up on Suarez. This will leave space out wide, and someone with pace like Sterling would make the best use of it.

I thought I saw a bad weather forcast in my maps for next week. Is it likely that our games will be affected?

You really are a weatherman?

[Redspin]

Id prefer a draw too be honest. Arsenal are a competitor for top 4, as are Chelsea. The less points they both have the better for us.

A pedant writes: I think you meant "...the fewer points they both have...".

No need to thank me

[Redspin]

How good is caulker? Is he good enough for us?

Also wouldnt worry too much we have Suarez remember

Caulker's very average
