Liverpool are going to start things off tonight by playing the Everton anthem the Z-Cars theme tune 'Johnny Todd' before kick off in tribute to Rhys Jones, the victim of a tragic death last week.

My starting lineup prediction (I think I've only guessed Rafa's team selection correctly once ):

Reina

Finnan Hyypia Agger Arbeloa

Babel Alonso Sissoko Riise

Crouch Kuyt

Obviously we need a professional display and we should get through comfortably, an early goal would be nice.

 

[nikebee]

Might be worth noting that the Sevilla game will still be going ahead, they've postponed the game against AEK but the Milan game will still be played.

 

[Gooner14]

I wouldn't bet on Liverpool To lose....

/Stolen joke

 

[JohnnyG]

And old, you obviously weren't around when the draw was made then?

 

[Ripper]

Reina

Finnan Hyypia Agger Arbeloa

Babel Alonso Sissoko Riise

Crouch Kuyt

Won't Mascherano start tonight? Or Benayoun? They aint played much yet have they, perfect game for them.

Won't Mascherano start tonight? Or Benayoun? They aint played much yet have they, perfect game for them.

They certainly will:

Reina, Arbeloa, Hyypia, Agger, Riise, Benayoun, Leto, Sissoko, Mascherano, Crouch, Kuyt.
Subs: Itandje, Finnan, Torres, Alonso, Pennant, Babel, Lucas.

As I said I'm rubbish at guessing Rafa's starting lineups

 

[Ripper]

He has to play Benayoun sometime otherwise he'll start getting annoyed. I think everyone probably realises he was brought in to strengthen the squad, but he probably thinks he should be pushing for a starting spot.

 

[Andybtsn]

Not expecting much othan than a drubbing for Leeds. Playing youngsters which is expected, Nugent will grab a hat trick I reckon.

 

[lemonkettaz]

there is dyer out for the season

 

[nichorob]

Nice tribute to that young lad at Anfield. Quite moving.

 

[Andybtsn]

Luton 1 - 0 Sunderland

 

[cheets64]

Dyer aka sicknote breaks two bones in his leg. Might as well retire that guy.

 

[Gooner14]

And old, you obviously weren't around when the draw was made then?

That's where I stole it from

 

[Andybtsn]

Dyer aka sicknote breaks two bones in his leg. Might as well retire that guy.

Crikey, has he??

 

[el_dazza]

1-0 Villa, Maloney again

Has Dyer really broken his leg?

 

[Andybtsn]

At least Bellamy has finally scored

 

[weringo]

1-0 Crouch great cross.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Good goal and a great cross.

 

[lemonkettaz]

Bellamy with a 2nd

 

[DAVEM]

Liverpool look excellent tonight
