Monday Dugout Discussion

An eventful Gameweek 24 concludes tonight at a foggy Anfield, where title contenders Tottenham Hotspur take on in-form hosts Liverpool. The Monday Night Football Dugout Discussion promises to be an exciting one, with talking points aplenty already.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp isn’t in Merseyside tonight, having spent the day in Southwark Crown Court and seeing his flight up grounded due to ‘technical problems’. He’s named a side though and, along with the home side, it’s as follows…

Liverpool XI: Reina, Johnson, Kelly, Agger, Skrtel, Spearing, Kuyt, Gerrard, Adam, Carroll, Bellamy.

Spurs XI:Friedel, Walker, Dawson, King, Assou-Ekotto, Kranjcar, Livermore, Modric, Parker, Bale, Adebayor.

Luis Suarez’s lengthy ban has ended, meaning Kenny Dalglish can name him amongst the substitutes. The undroppable Craig Bellamy starts, as does Dirk Kuyt and Andy Carroll. Elsewhere, fantasy favourite Jose Enrique misses the clash, woth Martin Kelly coming in.

As for the visitors, Ledley King starts, but there’s no Rafael Van der Vaart, Aaron Lennon or Jermain Defoe, meaning Harry Redknapp is forced to name an unfamiliar line-up.

Follow it unfold in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which can be accessed right here.

    jeez it's 5:08am here. Extremely red-eyed have somehow managed to drag myself out of bed. Sounds like I missed a purrrfect first half.

    whats up with Enrique?

      Godd question. I haven't the foggiest. A stab in the dark is that he was getting forward (without that much joy) a lot against Chelsea?
