Now or never for lovren, he is coming into a very confident team, playing left side, playing at a ground he knows well time to prove himself

I don't usually worry about the line up, whatever it is, before I've seen how it plays, but seeing Lovren + Skrtel changes everything.

Lovren has looked alright in his last two substitute appearances. Hopefully he can get through today. Strong bench in case changes needed.

Think Markovic starting instead of Moreno is a good move. Markovic can't play on Thursday night & Moreno gets a rest.

A team containing Markovic, Ibe, Coutinho and Sterling still contains a serious threat, especially with added firepower from the bench.

Ibe on the right and Markovic left? Interesting side! Shame Sakho has a knock. Big opportunity for Lovren.

Would have liked Balotelli to start too. Coutinho looked knackered on Thursday so would have gone Sterling & Balo up top with Lallana behind

Not too bothered about the Sterling/Sturridge switch, i imagine its an energy/fitness thing. Prob see both Sturridge and Balo at some point.
