Liverpool v Manchester City, 8pm

No thread yet? Pool fans must have written this one off already

But wait, there's hope when you see the City team -

Hart, Boyata, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, Yaya, Barry, A. Johnson, Tevez, Milner, Dzeko.

No De Jong or Silva. Mancini must have an eye on Saturday.

The Reds team in full is: Reina, Flanagan, Carragher, Skrtel, Aurelio, Lucas, Spearing, Meireles, Kuyt, Suarez, Carroll. Subs: Gulacsi, Cole, Robinson, Shelvey, Maxi, Wilson, Ngog.

I think City are favourites for this one with that defence for Liverpool, and Spearing needs a big game as well. Hopefully Caroll will get off the mark tonight.

AJ v Flanagan? Nice :cool:

Is Silva on the bench. I'm only asking because if he doesn't play at all then Odemwinge comes off the bench in my FF team

EDIT: he is on the bench and almost certain to come on after 85 minutes picking up 1 point in exchange for the West Brom striker's 15. I know no one cares but I had to share

Big test for the Young lad.

Will go with a 0-0. If theirs a goal it will be from City but here's hoping we keep it tight at the back. Will be great to see Flanagan out there.

Going by some of the reserve games hes a bit more attacking Steve Finnan in the making. Will be a big test but good luck to the lad:) Would have liked to have seen Suso or Sterling on the bench..

Yeah and if he has a good game can you imagine the confidence it will give the lad starting in a big game like this, though its only against city i suppose:p

He looks a real prospect but this is a major step up, probably much earlier than expected. That said, you don't know how good a player can be till he is tested at the highest level.

That_Guy · 11-04-2011 7:24pm

Would've liked Silva to be starting to be honest.

bluefinger · 11-04-2011 7:28pm

as a liverpool fan I can't understand why we're favourites tonight, even with the home advantage.

MR NINE · 11-04-2011 7:29pm

Will Liverpool line up in a 442 with Meireles on the left, or a 451 with Carroll up front on his own and Kuyt, Suarez and Meireles behind him. I hope its the latter, really dont like seeing Meireles used out wide.

jebidiah · 11-04-2011 7:30pm

any streams yet chaps? will post one when i find one
