Sunday's such a quick turnaround - 12pm kick-off - that I'd really hate to see anybody who featured last night play. That's another reason why I'd have used Sturridge last night, and rested him completely this weekend.
I'm glad - he had a very good debut against Bournemouth and was desperately unlucky not to get a clean sheet.
If he can repeat a performance like that tomorrow, I'll be very optimistic about his future as our 2nd keeper, still in the hope that we sell and replace Mignolet for the top spot.

With that long contract and high wages, he's not going anywhere. Might be better for Ward to go on loan and get regular game time again to develop quicker.

I said hope, not expectation Who knows? He hasn't been terrible in recent months (just the odd fatal error...) - maybe we could sell him if we're lucky.
Yeah, I think today is important for him to show that the Bournemouth game wasn't a fluke.

I think it's the dream for everyone
Wonder what the starting line-up will be like today..

We'll probably change the majority of the back 5, maybe keeping one first teamer (Lovren or Moreno I reckon).
We'll probably play Stewart in midfield and Sturridge up front. After that it's hard to judge because we have so many injuries and will likely be rotating in the second half too.

P.S: Is Can back yet or is that next game?
Can has ruptured ankle ligaments so will miss the rest of our season.
