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.

    Chelsea are still hung over from the Cup final. They don’t care if they win or lose tonight. Look at the players they fielded.

          There was a good debate on talksport earlier about the state of Blackburn, the fans came over very well on the phone in I must say. Seems there's much more to this story than the general public know about.

            Yeah most definitely. Head so many things, tough to pick the fact from the fiction though.

            I do think rovers fans have got a tough time of it. Liverpool fans protest about Hicks/Gillet, United fans over the Glazers and they aren't condemed and told they are the reason the club is failing. Double standards...

              In fairness, it was the abuse Kean was getting from the fans that people were condemning, it did get a bit out of hand mid-season. I suppose he's seen as the Venkys' man, though.

    just so you all know, apparently Liverpool are bringing John Barnes out of retirement.

    He was on the pitch at half time and got asked to take a pen. He scored it blindfolded.
