AMR) Raheem Sterling
Sterling is currently involved in an alleged contract dispute with the Anfield hierarchy, and he’ll be desperate to prove he’s worth the mammoth figures his agent is apparently demanding. He could start on either wing, and rotate with whoever else is selected.
AML) Adam Lallana
We reckon Joe Allen, poor in recent weeks, could drop to the bench in favour of either Coutinho or Adam Lallana. Lallana has broken two of his ribs, but reports claim he’ll play through the pain barrier. We could badly do with his goal threat.
FC) Rickie Lambert
Mario Balotelli is training again, but Rodgers is surely more likely to use our maverick Italian from the bench. Lambert only played 45 midweek, so should be fresh enough to start… Even though he’s yet to score in the top flight, we’ll still be pretty excited if Balotelli gets the nod, for some reason.
