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.

    should i worry about bale dropping to lb potentially or is my team good to go for the final GW?

    Vorm
    Cahill Walker Koscielny
    Bale VDV Valencia Moses
    RVP Roonpig Aguero(c)

    subs: Bogbrush Siggy Caulker Simpson

    need to beat my ML leader by 40 points...he doesn't have Roonpig, Aguero, VDV, Moses, Koscielny, Caulker/Cahill or Vorm, so not worried about differentials

    Ok, so this is my current team for gw38:

    Reina (Mig)
    Evans, Bosingwa, Terry (Taiwo, Simpson)
    VDV, Valencia, Dempsey, Siggy (Sess)
    Aguero, RVP, Jelavic

    Assuming that Evans is out, there are two options (0.3m bank):

    A) Simpson ➡ Gallas (no hit)
    B) Evans, Sessegnon ➡ Lescott, Moses (-4, bench Dempsey)

    Is B worth it or will A do?

    2FT and 3.6m in the bank

    Vorm
    KOMPANY, Vermaelen, Evans
    DEMPSEY, vdv, BALE, VALENCIA
    RVP, JELAVIC, Cisse

    Mignolet, Siggy, Enrique, Turner

    15pts behind my leader, thinking of transferring two of the caps players as these are the ones my leader has. Any thoughts on who to get?

      Defenders who get sent off and then watch their team concede 3 or 4 would be down there.

      Own goal, red card and team concedes four. That would add up to a few minus points (and sum up my defence this season).
