    Miles's prediction: Liverpool have lost their spark and while Chelsea are pushing forward more this season, they have kept their defensive solidity. They are just not letting in any goals. 0-2

    Erm yes they are miles. They're letting in quite a lot of goals ... I actually fancy sterling to get something out of this game.
