Don't see why anyone is even thinking about taking a point if given the chance before the game. Bit of a knob in truth if you're in that boat.
Why? Well we're on a fantastic run, and although I, like many others, most importantly the players and staff, am well aware it will be a difficult match, due to the confidence their lot will have after last night, I am expecting us to win. Don't care how, we have games coming up I'd like to see us get a few goals, would take a 0-1 in this if given the choice!
Would be very helpful if Torres makes the bench at least. Here's the side I would consider playing*:
Reina
Arbeloa
Carragher
Agger
Aurelio
Mascherano
Xabi Alonso
Kuyt
Gerrard
Riera
Keane
*barring any injuries of course. However, there are concerns over whether or not Fabio Aurelio is capable of playing three high-intensity matches in such a short space of time, so don't be surprised if Dossena is given the nod at left back. Also Kuyt seemed a tad tired by the end last night, but it wouldn't be right if he didn't play under Rafa!
Bit unfortunate that they'll have Ledley King back in the side, would have much preferred seeing him play yesterday against Arsenal and miss this game. But we should have enough nonetheless.
