AMRC) Adam Lallana
He wasn’t at his best on Thursday, but we just can’t see him being dropped for a game against his former club. Sentimentality aside, Lallana should be pumped up to face his former employers, and there’s little to suggest that he won’t be going all out to perform at his very best.
AMLC) Raheem Sterling
That leaves a straight shoot-out between Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling for the second attacking midfield role. The Brazilian’s form has dropped slightly below its magnificent best in the last couple of weeks, and that’s the only indication that the returning England international might get the nod. Either way, the man left out will definitely be coming off the bench and looking to make the difference.
FC) Daniel Sturridge
The striker has still not shown us his emphatic best since returning from his lengthy injury lay-off. However, with each game that goes by he’s looking more and more like himself, and surely the goals will start flowing again soon.
