    Nice for Rossiter to get a place on the bench. Good to see Sakho back in the mix too.

      Pace in the centre for them, but Benteke is all about power & height. Massive test for their CB's if we get enough possession to be effective.

      On Lucas - I'm not a massive fan. But he was effective last season when we switched and its a big game for him to win a starting place. Same goes for Can. Must say, I'll be a bit annoyed if it's not Lucas in the DM position.

      Can has been earmarked for the DM role but he needs to learnt it & I hate Lucas wide in a central 3., which Rodgers did do when we had Stevie at DM.
      Forwards.......

        Markovic must be thinking his time could be up. Not to even get on the bench when you consider the players we are missing.

        We have a good chance tonight though.....got to attack them
        In a home game he may get on the bench, but away to Arsenal you need something else.

          This was another of the massive embarrassments during the run in last season. If we can get anything out of this, given the record at Arsenal, then it will be ****ing massive.

          It'll probably be too much too soon for Firmino, but if Big Chris can maul their centre backs, we might be in with a chance.

          Huge points in the bank for Brendan if he rights one of the terrible wrongs from last year. If he can't, it'll add fuel to the fire that he's not right for the job. I can't really see the greys in it, it really does feel black and white like that.

            'Lucas is our best defensive midfield player' - Rodgers

            That should settle his future then surely ?

              Their defence looks suspect and our midfield doesn't look great. Interesting game ahead.

                Well Brendan just shut me up. Lucas at DM. And he's right, Lucas is still our best DM.

                    They will keep possession, dodgy defence only an issue if teams can get at it. Key will be Benteke winning that airiel ball. I'll be dissappointd if he doesn't dominate them.

                      So looks like we are going to be taking to the skies then tonight, which will give them the chance to air the Liverpool 'hoofball' song they love so much.

                          Is Lallana dropped or injured? I presume dropped.

                              Don't mean to be nasty towards Lallana but it could be a blessing in disguise. Not started well. I do rate him but I'm happy to see Firmino start

                                I've got no idea what to expect here... Normally you have an idea of what lies ahead - but this is an intriguing one.
