Just three days removed from their forgettable FA Cup Final meeting, Liverpool and Chelsea meet once more. This time around the setting is Anfield and, if truth be told, the stake is pride more than the three Premier League points on offer. The Dugout Discussion opens for the occasion, and the team news is in…

Liverpool XI: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Agger, Downing, Henderson, Shelvey, Maxi, Suarez, Carroll.

Chelsea XI: Turnbull, Ferreira, Ivanovic, Terry, Bertrand, Essien, Romeu, Ramires, Sturridge, Malouda, Torres.

Hoping to avoid the worst tally in over 60 years for home points in a season, Kenny Dalglish plays Andy Carroll (at the expense of Craig Bellamy) alongside Luis Suarez following the impact he made on Saturday. There’s three other changes that see Jamie Carragher, Maxi Rodriguez and Jonjo Shelvey replace Jose Enrique, Steven Gerrard and Jay Spearing.

With a season-defining game awaiting in Munich later this month, a much-changed Chelsea line-up take to the field. There’s only three survivors from the weekend, with Champions League Final suspendees John Terry, Ramires and Branislav Ivanovic all keeping their place.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

          Unofficially it is open all the time, but players cant actually move until the 1st July, not that it makes any difference to anyone in reality.

    Yesterday, I managed to purloin two Dover Soles from Sainsburys on a yellow ticket, at £4.83 the pair or about £8.50 per kilo. Much less than half price.

    It is worth bearing in mind that Dover Soles are truly rubbish when fresh - and benefit from a day or two.

    Best fish to freeze - ever! 😀

    Will be having them "Bonne Femme" tonight ...
