After Sunderland’s win over Cardiff took the Black Cats out of the drop zone, our attentions turn to the summit as the top three sides prepare for action. In what could prove a decisive day in the race for the title, Liverpool welcome Chelsea to Anfield before City make their way to Selhurst Park to face a Palace side looking for a sixth straight win under Tony Pulis:

Our first stop is at Anfield, then, where the likes of Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling will be looking to grab the goals that would bring the Reds one step closer to clinching the title and end Chelsea’s bid for the crown.

Daniel Sturridge is on the bench for the hosts after recovering from a hamstring problem, whilst Jose Mourinho rings the changes for the visitors and makes seven alterations ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg clash with Atletico Madrid.

Full details of the day’s starting lineups can be found via our Twitter feed, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains opens for those looking to indulge in some real-time banter.

    Guys need some advice please

    I can either do Gerrard>Yaya or Eriksen>Nasri

    So my question is what pair do you think would score better for these last few GWs?

    A) Gerrard + Nasri
    B) Yaya + Eriksen

      Wakey: exactly! a very BIG part of the error was on Sakho. he cannot make a pass in such a tough situation w both of them the last 2 and ba on top of gerrard. Kind if oass that when i play football i would go mad at who is making such a pass (sako) for not reading the situation well atm.

          i usede to go mad w/ my teammates whenever someone would make such a pass. worst is when the player passes the bal into the "bondfire" only because he cannot decide what do w/ the ball himself. sako is not all that people said of him while at psg. very subpar
