Southampton Build up (A) Sunday 4:15pm

[Paddy]

So, thoughts on the line up? Would be tempted to give Coutinho a rest, He looks knackered. Balotelli to get a starting chance?

[BobTheCharmer]

I would play Balotelli alongside Sturridge. Drop Lallana or Coutinho. I'd also put Can in Midfield instead of Allen and play Lovren.

Sterling will start and Mario probably won't even make the bench.

[Paddy]

Tempted by the Lovren/Can too, but can't see that happening against Southampton. Last night was the time to try that out.

[wiw]

I would personally drop Allen, Lallana and Coutinho and bring in Lovren, Balotelli and Sterling. Can in midfield, Lovren at the back and Sterling in behind. Would imagine we'd start with the same 11 though and make the same/similar subs as yesterday.

[DannyMan2006]

I think Sturridge starts on the bench due to fitness related issues & Raheem starts. No further changes.

[Shaggy]

Gerrard still out, confirmed by BR.

[Fosterbloke]

Schneiderlin and Long should be on the bench unless they're desperate.

This is another must win games as they're strong contenders for a top 4 place.

[Rich]

Here's my team, wouldn't change too much.

Mignolet
Can - Skrtel - Sakho
Markovic - Henderson - Allen - Moreno
Lallana - Sturridge - Sterling

Plenty of options from the bench too.

[Fosterbloke]

Mignolet
Lovren - Skrtel - Sakho
Ibe - Henderson - Can - Moreno
Markovic - Sturridge - Lallana

Sterling, Balotelli and someone else to come off the bench.

[Chazza]

Moreno loving it.

Phil not so much.

[RedReet]

Looking forward to this match. Should be a very intriguing tactical battle and is a hard one to call.

Naturally I think we'll stuff them.

[The Birdman]

I'd be tempted to play

Mingolet
Can Skrtel Sakho
Ibe Hendo Allen Moreno
Lallana Markovic
Sterling

Have Coutinho and Sturridge as subs, Phil needs a break and I'd be wary of over playing Sturridge this soon after his long term injury
Or
Balotelli has probably shown enough to warrant a start so him as striker and Sterling in behind could work as well

[Deano]

Sturridge has had a 5 month holiday - bollocks, ****er should be made to play in every game till end of season with extra training
