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.

    Regarding Euro 2012 who does everyone see as a "must have player"?

    Ozil for me 🙂

    DVD Bale Dempsey Siggy Pienaar
    Jelly RVP Cisse

    I've only got 2.5mill in bank, so I'll have to take a hit to do Jelly > Agro and possibly dempsey > Ramires or Yaya???

          I'm not sure which of Yaya or Ramires I'd like after Ramires played last night, but I'd expect him to start this weekend I guess. Aguero definitely. I'm keeping Dempsey and didn't fancy having double Spurs attacking cover anymore so opted Bale out myself.

    13 points off my league leader after last nights John Terry Horror Show.

    He will Captain Aguero this week - I would have done if our scores were closer but 13 points is a bit of a gap, should I captain RVP as a gamble?

    Or should I captain Aguero and hope the rest of my team can make up the points (we will have 4 starters the same, moses, RVP, aguero, valencia).
