Think this is a really, really difficult team selection.

We have Villa on Saturday and can easily rotate much of the team. We really need three points on Wednesday, though.

MP will have to assess the condition on a player by player basis. It won't happen on here but there should be no criticism of his team selection on Wednesday given the minutes played and the intensity of those minutes of late.

I'd go with, fitness depending...

Willy (being soft but think he deserves it)
Zabba
Kompany
Otamendi
Kolarov
Fern
Fern
Sterling
Navas
Kelechi
Aguero (if fit, otherwise Bony)

I don't like the two man midfield but can't see how Yaya can play, nor Silva. Kelechi can play No10 but would have to drop in and help the Ferns. Scouse have that many midfielders they can rotate better in the middle than we can, so I don't really like the above but needs must.

If the big guns can all play, great. Rotate for Villa would be the ideal.
 
Without wanting to stray into hyperbole, I think this game could define our title chances. If we win then it's game on, lose and it's going to be very difficult. Impossible to say how today will impact on the game though.

Just imagine how our lads will feel winning at Anfield for the first time in ages, it looks like we've turned a corner in terms of performances with Kompany back and the change in midfield.

I personally think West Ham will beat Tottenham at home and Leicester will draw against West Brom (Asking a lot but it's possible)
 
Same approach as yesterday.
Liverpool have beaten us because in the first 20 minutes they go for the kill and we usually lie down and let them tickle our bellies. Well yesterday they didn't, they started with the greater tempo, but we held firm, we were structured and once their one and only plan had failed we took complete control of the game.

Anfield is always a hard place to go and the past few years we've played right into their hands. I know a few dipper fans that all say the same thing. If they don't start well and score early, the nerves set in.
 
Hart for willy and navas for yaya will do for me and only for fitness reasons regarding yaya as thought he was immense yesterday!
 
As Capital 1 runners up will Liverpool get a Europa league place if we get premier top4 and they finish mid table?
 
Need to judge how fit the players are and take it from there.. I am hoping they may struggle to get themselves back up for this. We really need a win to get the prem campaign back on track. Cannot afford to lose
