Liverpool v Chelsea (PL) 7/11/10, 16:00 KO GMT

[loz]

Runnig late for work so no time to write a proper post.

It is diipper time - lets humiliate them on the park and then strap a kipper to the back of the boiler in their airing cupboard before leaving.

[Cam]

I will be on a boat between Tasmania and mainland Australia for this one.

Hopefully we win and I can watch it when I get home. If we lose, I'll probably be too depressed to

[yorkleyblue]

I was taking to our resident "scousers", Harjinder, Yasser and Fiaz, at work yesterday, and they want a humiliating Chelsea win, as they see that as the best way of wemoving Woy!

That's the latest news from Southall, folks

Just hope Drogba doesn't have one of his can't be bothered days, we could hammer these on Sunday if we go at them.

[Andreas]

Is malouda out for the bin dippers game? looks like it.

'Malouda has a twist on his ankle, not a big problem but he is not able to play against Liverpool, the week after yes, and we hope Frank can play.'

Thats a bit of a blow but Zhirkov will do a good job.

[Bobbywoodhogan]

Yeah shame Malouda's out he usually plays well against them

[Andreas]

Cech

Ivan

Alex

JT

Cole

Mikel

Essien

Lampard

Zhirkov

Drogba

Anelka

Hopefully we'll see that line-up for the game, we should win rather easy but you never know with the dippers.

3-0 to us is my prediction.

[ozboy]

I'd be amazed if lampard starts. Stranger things have happened I guess. My lineup has ramires instead of lampard to start and kale taking maloudas spot.

Liverpool are a strong team We have not been doing that well away from home and torres will be out to prove a point.

1:0 would do nicely thanks very much.

[Cam]

I get the feeling Kalou will start in the front three with Anelka on the left, him on the right, and Didier in the centre.

I would like to see Zhirkov as a left winger, but I get the feeling he'll be in the centre of the park, or on the bench.

[Andreas]

Really hope Zhirkov will be on the left win, him and cole seem to link up well.

[Cam]

I agree with you, I just predict Kalou will start in the front three.

[The Moos]

I think we'll play like this:

Cech

Ivan

Alex

JT

Cole

Essien

Mikel

Zhirkov

Kalou

Drogba

Anelka

I doubt Lampard is ready to play. Even if he is fit then I don't expect him to start. Might see him on the bench if we're lucky and then he might get a few minutes later in the game.

Bosingwa was sick yesterday so the question is whether he'll be fine by sunday. If he is then he might start instead of Ivan.

With Malouda out I'm quite sure Kalou will play.

[Zola]

Not gonna be easy! They will want to make a statement to the league but I still think we can nick it 1/2- 0

[Arq]

I think we'll play like this:

Cech

Ivan

Alex

Cole

Essien

Zhirkov

Kalou

Drogba

I think this lineup is spot on. I think we'll get the win, but it'll be tough. My prediction is 2-1, Chelsea comes out on top in a close one.

[54veteran]

Unlike last season, we don't seem to have any weak links in the squad, and there is a spirit and understanding that was lacking when we had Ballack and Deco strolling about and drawing their pensions. We can pretty much do without any individual player now.....well, apart from Cech of course.

[bjd]

On itv last night lampard was in the studio with chiles and southgate and he said he was 'a few weeks away'

I'd like to see Lampard in the first squad. Andy - why you want to see Zhirkov on the left wing? Isn't it a place for Malouda? Or maybe he's injured?

Malouda is injured and I don't have any problems playing Zhirkov on the left anyway.

[Hutch]

Malouda's injury doesn't sound too serious, and there are hopes that Frank Lampard won't be out for much longer, with a possibility that he will at least be in the squad for Liverpool:

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has revealed forward Florent Malouda will miss Sunday's trip to Liverpool with an ankle problem.

Malouda missed Wednesday's Champions League victory over Spartak Moscow but had been expected to be available for the trip to Anfield.

However, Ancelotti has now confirmed the Frenchman will not have recovered in time to face Liverpool, but he remains hopeful Frank Lampard will return after his lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Ancelotti said: "He (Malouda) will not be ready. He has a twist on his ankle, not a big problem but he will not be able to play against Liverpoool. Hopefully for the week after."

Lampard has not played since the end of August but the Chelsea boss has now revealed the England international is close to making a return to action.

He added: "I hope to have Frank back soon - he will make us even stronger."

That sounds about right

[The Moos]

Must say that I find the Lampard situation a bit confusing. Carlo says Lamps are close to returning and might even be ready to face Liverpool. But then we hear Lampard saying he's a "few weeks away".

Surely both talk to the medical staff at the club, so they should both know what the deal is. Or are they just guessing?

I find it very odd.

[yorkleyblue]

OR, neither one of them want YOU to know!

[The Moos]

Well.....then they're c*nts.

[cfckeane]

Frank can take as long as he wants to get back to the first team, last thing I want is him coming back to early and suffering a recurrence.

Now that I can agree on. We've done well without him so he should feel no pressure to rush things.
