I hope we batter these today but I honestly have some serious man love for Rafa.

2.30am kick-off. Fair play to you

I know it's a public holiday tomorrow, but I can't be arsed. I'm off to bed

Have a bet going since yesterday round of fixtures.....if LFC score 5 goals or more, then I'm in the money

Firmino dropped for Studge.

[Liverpool]

Mignolet, Gomez, Matip, Lovren, Moreno, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Coutinho, Salah, Mane Sturridge

[frank the tank]

Liverpool team: Mignolet, Gomez, Matip, Lovren, Moreno, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Coutinho, Salah, Mane, Sturridge.

Substitutes: Karius, Klavan, Milner, Can, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Firmino, Solanke

Wijnaldum over Can is curious although the latter didn't play well against Moscow.

Even I'm starting to be mystified by Robertson now. I appreciate some training my be required to get him up to speed but you'd have thought with his performances and time he'd be ready for a place on the bench at least.

Can’t believe we dropped Can for Wij for an away game. Jurgen knows more than me but seems strange. Glad to see Sturridge get a run out from the start.

Although on reflection that's a decent bench re: Robertson.

Aye, that was my point really. Wijnaldum away, never usually a good move.

rafa is such a classy bloke

Good team, let's smash these.

Firmino an Can rightly dropped. Glad Sturridge starts he needs games, did think Milner might get the nod but Wini is due a good performance away from home....surely!
