MC) Steven Gerrard
Gerrard will start in the anchoring midfield role, fresh off the back of his superb freekick winner against Sunderland on Wednesday evening. He’ll be desperate not to pick up a booking though, as a yellow card will see him banned for two matches.
MC) Jordan Henderson
Henderson’s pressing and work-rate is systematic of Liverpool’s all-action style. It will be the England international’s job to make sure Sandro and Nabil Bentaleb don’t get too much time on the ball.
MC) Joe Allen
The Welshman has won his place in the side in recent weeks, at the expense of either Raheem Sterling or Coutinho. His natural instinct is to retain possession at all costs, and Rodgers rates him very highly, even if some Liverpool fans don’t.
