Squad Prediction:
Reina
Carragher - Skrtel - Kyrgiakos - Aurelio
Mascherano - Aquilani
Kuyt - Gerrard - Riera
N'gog

Subs: Cavalieri, Degen, Babel, Maxi, Insua, Darby, Pacheco

I like N'gog up top, because he can possess the ball and he's got pace. Kuyt on the right can still get forward to help in attack and he'll cover be good cover for Carra as well. If N'gog were to get a knock, then Kuyt can replace him up top and Babel or Maxi can come on. I also like Aurelio on the pitch rather than Insua as he offers more going forward and is one of our best free-kick takers. I really like Maxi & Babel coming off the bench for some added pace late in the match. Also, I like playing more offensively from the start...hoping we get a goal or two lead and THEN bringing on Lucas to replace Aquilani! That's my take. We need a real nice run of form. I can't emphasize enough how nice a run of form we need!

Also, looks like Bolton have signed Arsenal starlett Jack Wilshere on loan. It will be interesting to see if he makes the squad. Owen Coyle's new side (Bolton) got a 1-0 win over his old side (Burnley) this past Tuesday. That 3 points helped to raise Bolton above the relegation zone. I'd look for a similar side to face Liverpool.
