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.

      Demps I think, although as the week wears on I'm thinking more and more he could grab a sneaky goal.

      May be cheeky punt on a Norwich player.. They have been fighting each match even though they have nothing to play for. Also Aston Villa are practically safe from relegation so their defense will be relaxed.

        Also consider Cisse > Aguero.

        Aguero and Tevez have been the furthest 2 City players plus you get safe captaincy choice in Aguero as Tevez has been subbed early all of the matches.

        Cisse might score but Eve - Nufc looks more of 0-0 fixture, both having a tight defense.

    People saying Ramires would be a bad move cuz they look ‘uninterested’ so would that mean Moses/Maloney would be a bad move because they’re safe already? While Yaya is fighting for something.

            ok...its a big one for me. i made up a 36 point differential last week to catch up with 1st place in my mini league..i am now 1 point behind, and i think he has to make 2 transfers. he has rooney, jelavic and cisse..dont think he wants to get rid of roon and he surely needs either rvp or aguero.

            if he makes two transfers, he will be 3 points behind me...ade to aguero is the obvious choice.

    WTF!? Enrique didn't play!?

    Talk about ****ing up a WC.

    De Laet (to free up cash whilst using the wildcard i never managed to finish) 3rd sub coming on for a big 0 pointer.

    Nice one!

    i've had a miserable few weeks and as a result have fallen 40 points behind ML leader (where I was about 3 weeks ago).

    I've made CAPS my differentials from him...am I crazy in contemplating Siggy over Bale who may be pushed to LB, or is there a genius transfer I'm missing? (for a hit...stupid i know!) Also cahill now looks unlikely to play right, so it's prob caulker...this could either be an epic win and I may just owe it to the late night hardcore FPL crew?

    Help!

      40's a huge ask......however...maybe...just maybe....your strikers can save you. Perhaps Rooney -> Torres, if we get any news about Mata starting (sod him if Mata doesn't)

        just checked out your gw36 and you had a great week 130+ points

        but then realised you'd benched komps and rvp which would have given you 150+ points...mental

      I know right, I was comfortably ahead in GW35, but my being stubborn decided not to sacrifice my ultimate strikeforce...at least I'm winning my work ML by 50 points, my ex manager still thinks he can catch me!

      Do you think I should play Siggy ahead of Bale/Valencia to add further differential (I hear some ppl on here reckon Moses might be rested)?

        I'd play Siggy instead of Valencia, but monitor the consensus on whether Bale will play LB. Good luck,

    A). Will Evans start at the weekend?
    B). Will Bale play at LB?
    C). Jelly -> Aguero for a pts hit?

        I am leaning that way, though I think Valencia will definitely start.

          It's impossible to call (obviously) but I see a chance of Young & Nani starting... Demps is nailed on whereas Tony is only 85% in my book. That said, I'll probably be selling at least one or both!

    Ok, so I've narrowed my cheap, one-off midfield punt down to:

    A) Petrov
    B Moses
    C) Maloney
    D) Hoolahan
