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.

    Well the two announcers on the US feed have decided all the themes of this match and they won't deviate. Terry slips, Terry gets nutmegged on an own goal, thus Terry doesn't care and Chelsea have given up.
    This has been a mess all around, but more interesting than almost any Blackburn game.

    I don't understand what Di Matteo is playing at here. 4 behind 4th place before this game. Next week, Spurs play Fulham who are 2nd or 3rd in the form table, Newcastle play Everton(A) which is a fortress at the moment. Chelsea still had a realistic chance at 4th. Buying into his own hype.

    I just want to say that I absolutely hate Essien. That was a red card on Carroll.

    He goes in most of his tackles recklessly, deliberately looking to hurt the rival player. SO many of his yellows should have been red. Just because he is a good DM, he gets away with so many reckless challenges which are all intentional.
