[RichC]

The Liverpool XI in full: Mignolet, Cissokho, Skrtel, Toure, Johnson, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Coutinho, Suarez.

[RichC]

Nice to see Sturridge on the bench

[Lee]

Ward on the bench?! Where's Jones then?

[Muddled]

We've gone from a sub bench of defenders to a bunch of attackers.

[Bender]

Stoke team to play Liverpool: Butland, Cameron, Shawcross, Wilson, Pieters, Walters, Nzonzi, Adam, Whelan, Arnautovic, Crouch

[Gibbo]

DStur

[wiw]

We just need to make sure we play with energy and fight like at City. Get that out the way and we can get the ball down and smash these yard dogs

We've gone from a sub bench of defenders to a bunch of attackers.

it's mad isn't it

it's mad isn't it

We are all out of defenders

[Shaggy]

I think the last time Toure and Skrtel played together was the Hull debacle. Nervous about this.

[JohnDoe]

I don't expect a win today. We're just not very good away from home and they're tough to beat. Need to be surprised.

[Chazza]

Have to be really solid at set pieces.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Have to be really solid at set pieces.

I think I heard someone say Stoke have conceded the most headed goals in the league this year? Pretty strange and we have a very good record scoring from set pieces this year.

that's a recipe for champions

[dww]

I think the last time Toure and Skrtel played together was the Hull debacle. Nervous about this.

I really hope we have made training one of them to defend left of centre a priority.

Also midfield looks to lack top level power and guile. Real test of the system and Sterling and Coutinho.
