AMRC) Raheem Sterling
Sterling’s pace can cause any side problems, whether he’s used in our predicted attacking midfield position or as a centre-forward. Adam Lallana should provide an option from the bench after quiet recent showings.
AMLC) Coutinho
All eyes will be on the Brazilian magician, who’s all at once become the subject of intense media scrutiny since his FA Cup wonder-goal. Rodgers, teammates and even Neymar have lavished Coutinho with praise – and we hope he can prove them right at Goodison.
FC) Daniel Sturridge
It’s a gamble, but we think Rodgers could select Sturridge from the offset. He’s looked sharp in his two cameo appearances, and scored on his return a week ago… If the boss chooses to start him on the bench instead, Sterling will play centrally – and two of Gerrard, Coutinho or Adam Lallana will dovetail him.
