Liverpool vs Everton; 8pm K.O. on BT Sport

[Patricks_Berger]

That's a cunt's strategy that is, something Mourinho would come up with.

Its part of "professional" football. Happens all the time.

Heitinga is off to Galatasaray I thought. So will they be without him? Or are they holding on until after the full time whistle?

i reckon they'll hold on till after the whistle

though i have forgot about that alcaraz - not sure what he is like, they may go him and stones at cb and have heitinga on the bench

i know we've done our own injury issues to death but i'd be feeling a lot more confident with fully fit....

that's arguably our 5 'starting' defensive players or out with bad injuries

[Chazza]

Jagielka is fit isn't he?

Distin was 'touch and go'

[Mattshark]

I'd go with -
Mignolet
Kelly Toure Skrtel Flanagan
Gerrard Henderson
Sterling Coutinho Sturridge
Suarez.

Gerrard and Henderson as a midfield pairing worries me.

[PTP]

not much we can do about it though

[dww]

Gerrard and Henderson as a midfield pairing worries me.

As does Coutinho central at the minute. Not really sure what the alternative is though.

Feeling more and more confident as kick off approaches.

Probably means a miserable evening as I would have bet serious cash on us whooping Villa!

Change of avatar as well to the great Gary Mac!

[Mostar]

Brilliant

Gerrard and Henderson as a midfield pairing worries me.

Same here but we have no DM or anyone who can slot in DM role at the moment.

Truly begs the question why we are continuing to look to buy a winger when we really could use either better DM or at least DM cover

As does Coutinho central at the minute. Not really sure what the alternative is though.

One thing's for sure if Rodgers picks the same team and formation as vs Villa we'll get battered again.

That's why I've done the formation that way, best of what we have available.

Sterling on the right tracks Baines all game and worries him the other way, without Coleman they aren't such a threat from right back so either Sturridge or Suarez just fills in and plays off the left.

Other option is Coutinho left and Suarez in behind Sturridge I suppose

[Marina]

Already told my mum, boyfriend, flatmate, and other people most likely to contact me randomly not to bother talking to me when this is on. I anticipate being a most anxious, irritable, and generally unpleasant person this afternoon/evening.

hate everything about derbies and hating everything that I fear will happen tonight

[Lee]

Think Allen is pushing for a start too

IF Allen is 100% fit I'd start him ahead of Coutinho and have him sit with Gerrard and Hendo more advanced.

Nice to have the option of bringing Coutinho off the bench.

Worry about the fullback positions but with Enrique and Johnson injured then there's not a lot we can do.

[baitman]

late, but...

Lets wallop these horrible beauts.
