Football 5th-6th Feb 2011 **SPOILERS**

Torres starting for Chelsea not really a surprise thou cant see it working for them since Anelka/Drogba is also. Regarding us Suarez hasnt started which im quite surprised at since Carragher has and Carra has played less football than Suarez can only assume its to blend Suarez into our team instead of throwing him into it.

Looks like were also playing 3-5-2 again like against stoke. Line up is : Reina, Carragher, Skrtel, Agger, Kelly, Johnson, Gerrard, Lucas, Maxi, Meireles, Kuyt. Subs: Gulacsi, Aurelio, Suarez, Jovanovic, Kyrgiakos, Ngog, Poulsen.
 
Chelsea v Liverpool teams:

Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Mikel, Essien, Lampard, Anelka, Torres, Drogba.

Subs: Turnbull, David Luiz, Malouda, Ferreira, Kalou, McEachran, Sala.

Liverpool: Reina, Skrtel, Carragher, Agger, Kelly, Lucas, Meireles, Johnson, Gerrard, Maxi, Kuyt.

Subs: Gulacsi, Aurelio, Suarez, Jovanovic, Kyrgiakos, Ngog, Poulsen.


It's a nice little three man attack.

Why do Chelski see the need to start with all 3 up front?

Would be more sensible to balance the team better and hold Le Sulk on the bench. (cue an Anelja hat trick now :p)
 
With no-one on Chelsea's side to cover him, Johnson is going to end up ridiculously far up the pitch. Right side could be key for them.

Will be interesting to see how three very central strikers play with one another though. Anelka can drop off and link well, but can Torres too? Won't they all end up in the same area?
 
Unless there's an early goal this could end up a very scrappy boring game. Both sides have flooded the middle of the pitch and there's going to be little to no space to play in.

I bet today will be the first time Torres gets protection from the ref too and he'll need it with Carra back.
 
Looks like poor Malouda has to give way to Torres.

but then they have a good striker on the bench. Thats been Chelsea's problem, lack of quality sitting on the bench.

Looking at the sides, Chelsea should win this comfortably.

Saurez on the bench again. Just throw him in the deep end and give him a start.
