The Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Chelsea

With an international break looming, we need to cherish this weekend’s action. Fortunately, on paper, the Gameweek looks to have plenty to offer us – beginning at Anfield for Liverpool’s clash with Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho’s side draw up on Merseyside sitting on the Premier League summit to find a faltering Liverpool outfit struggling for a foothold.

Brendan Rodgers men have just two wins in their last seven – a run that has prompted Fantasy managers to turn their backs on the men in red: even Raheem Sterling’s star has faded badly in recent weeks.

Sterling will have the opportunity to show his worth, going up against Chelsea’s cast of midfield heavyweights – Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and Oscar. Meanwhile, up front, Fantasy managers will be monitoring Diego Costa’s sharpness. Once an “essential” asset, Costa’s recent injury woes have seen enthusiasm dampened – goals today would quickly reverse that.

The early kick-off is followed by a quartet of matches, before Chelsea’s title rivals, City, pay visit to Loftus Road.

Stick around to discuss the day’s action as it unfolds and keep one eye on our Twitter feed for all the lineup news.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    You've got to laugh, Liverpool's comedy defence can't even hold onto a lead for 10 minutes. And from a set piece, again.

      Well he'd clearly stopped the ball from going in then took it over the line in a second movement. So should be an OG really.

    Balotelli offside there is a good sign or liverpool, he's clearly listening to the demand for him to get into the box and play as a proper CF.
