Zabaleta coming back would make me relatively confident! Most of our chances come from our full-backs and Negredo is more than capable.

Zab at 70-80% or a fully fit Milner?

Fantastic news if true.

God we have such as thin squad. Guess that means Kelly will have to play, will Johnson at LB.

Mignolet
Kelly Toure Sakho Johnson
Lucas
Allen Henderson
Sterling Suarez Coutinho

Is Skirtel injured?

For the one and only time at home this season our main priority in this game should be not to lose imo.

Might be slightly more important not to lose than to win but I don't want to see us be overly cautious. We should be able to impose ourselves on them.

I do see this as our toughest home game.

The reason we beat Arsenal,Spuds and the vermine was that we went at them..
If we go at Liverpool we will beat them.. why change a style that works..

We won't, I'm sure of that. Pellegrini hasn't changed for anyone and he won't be starting now.

Hart
Zab (if fit) Kompany Demi Kolorov
Garcia Ferd
Navas Silva Milner
Negredo


A couple of points. Seeing that we play Crystal Palace less than 48 hours later I'd like to see Nasri and Yaya rested and maybe come on as subs. I think we played well with this formation against Bayern and Garcia although not popular will hopefully not leave us so exposed in the back for Suarez to get thru. He did well against Bayern and Ferd can cover him as well and go forward when needed.

Fair play to Santa for delivering your xmas crack consignment early

Given its position on the International Date Line, Hawaii will be pretty much the last place Santa will visit at Christmas. To do otherwise just wouldn't make any sense.
