Wednesday night football seems to be something of a bygone era however it was only a year ago that we were playing in the Champions League and I am sure that we will be back if not next season, the season after.
If we beat Utrecht we will equal a record of 9 consecutive home wins in Europe set during the Bob Paisley era. However besides that statistic the game is really a no nothing as no matter what the scoreline brings it will not effect our position in the table, we will finish first. This gives Roy a chance to rest the senior team members and give the youngsters a chance however he has already said that Pepe Reina, Fernando Torres and the “two center backs” will feature.
Predicted Lineup:
Pepe Reina, Martin Kelly, Sotiris Kyrgiakos, Martin Skrtel, Fabio Aurelio, Christian Poulsen, Joe Cole, Jonjo Shelvey, Dani Pacheco, Ryan Babel, Fernando Torres
Kickoff is at 8:05PM GMT
