Form: http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/form-guide.html Two evenly matched teams in terms of form. LFC have not be great at home this year. stoke with respect are mixed on the road. Betting: Liverpool (3/5) Draw (3/1) Stoke (9/2) LFC hot favorites but for the #nuetral out there a punt on the draw at 3/1 on several sties given the eruopa league matches round this game seems a decent shout. Injuries: http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php Liverpool: (TBD) Henderson Knee no return date Benteke LCL. no return date. Leiva Thigh Muscle Strain 10th Apr 16 Ings ACL Knee Injury Jun 16 Gomez ACL Knee Injury Jun 16 (sick of rossiter now, he's an u21, i aint putting him back up here anymore) Stoke: G Cameron Illness 10th Apr 16 slight doubt G Whelan Back Injury 10th Apr 16 very doubtful J Butland Ankle/Foot Injury Jul 16 J Walters Cartilage Knee Injury no return date X Shaqiri Thigh Muscle Strain 10th Apr 16 slight doubt R Shawcross Back Injury 10th Apr 16 slight doubt G Johnson Knee Injury 10th Apr 16 M Wilson MCL Knee Ligament Injury 23rd Apr 16 Bascially stoke are expecting half their team back from injury and this will have a huge impact on thier choices. Butland and shawcross are big players for them. will shawcross be back? A lot depends on europa so this can all change
one thing is i epxect one of two things. Either sturrdige will be out to prove a point or he'll sulk. I think he'll play this one and he's performance will decide a huge amount
lucas might rise form his death bed Stewart played a bit of u21s last week Allen is sure to start anyway. brannigan, chirvella also options klopp knows.
I'd hope one of Brannigan, Chirvella get the nod, provde against West Ham they could cut it, against their first choice midfield! Could see 4-3-3 with the front 6 being.. Brannigan, Chirvella, Allen Ibe/Ojo, Sturridge and Firmino The defence picks itself! We're not getting top 4 so, whilst not throwing away points in the league, I'd like to see the youngsters get a game..
I think the wat stoke have their injuries as well we might go 4-2-3-1 and just pick one of the two my thoughts right now are: Mingolet Clyne Lovern sahko Moerno Allen Chrivella lallana firmino coutinho Sturridge Look to see if stewart is fit to get i nthere or lucas Its not that bad IMO. I would be looking very hard at 6th place in league as target and we need ot win this game and hope big time to get near it.
Still important to finish as high as possible and get into Europa for next year though. Although the kids couldn't do much worse than some of the established players over last few months so no harm really n
Bad news for Liverpool & potentially England as a scan confirms Jordan Henderson will be out for 6-8 weeks with a LCL knee injury.
Henderson gave klopp options. He was moving him about as options are also limited further up. We will prob play can and allen next Thursday and allen can play better further up passing it.
Yup, suspended. I'd Imagine Allen will start with Milner. Not sure if Lucas is back yet? If not then probably Lallana?
