Dugout Discussion

Sunday Dugout Discussion

Finally, Gameweek 26 edges towards its conclusion with this afternoon’s match at Anfield. Liverpool are afforded the chance to bounce back from last Monday’s disastrous home defeat at the hands of West Brom, as Swansea arrive on Merseyside. As always, we’ve opened up the Dugout Discussion chatroom for you to air your thoughts:

The team news is in and sees Daniel Sturridge handed the chance to lead the line for the hosts, having recovered from a thigh injury. Brendan Rodgers gives Philippe Coutinho his first start, with Liverpool lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Liverpool XI: Reina; Johnson, Agger, Carragher, Enrique; Lucas, Gerrard; Downing, Suarez, Coutinho; Sturridge

The big news comes courtesy of Michael Laudrup’s team selection. Michu merely warms the bench for the Welsh outfit, with the Swans boss clearly keeping one eye on next weekend’s Capital One Cup final against Bradford. Ashley Williams is also omitted from the first XI and with Chico out injured, Kyle Bartley and Garry Monk line up in the heart of defence – perhaps offering hope to those Fantasy managers who invested in Sturridge and/or Luis Suarez.

Swansea XI: Vorm; Tiendalli, Bartley, Monk, Davies; Britton, Agustien, De Guzman; Lamah, Shechter, Hernandez

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    This really is the year of the DGW. Can't think of another season where the main protagonists have delivered so spectacularly on every occasion.

    Imagine they will all flop next time round now i've saved a wildcard for it!
