Didnt wolves give the club a lift .Still 2nd and 9 plus GD from 5th.

Must lift the mood for this game surely .Antonio crashed his motor Xmas day apparently lets hope he is slightly injured.

Not injured as he was dressed in a nice padded snowman outfit. No alcohol involved....allegedly.

No Vardy today, hope Nacho gets the nod.

Controversial, but come 7.30pm, I think you'll be glad we Ndidn't

[ARTY_FOX]

Usual team, usual formation and usual tactics please. Forget this standing off crap and get back to pressing (which we will because they arent top 6)

Very controversial - playing a 'not fully fit' midfielder at right back

Prepare to be disappointed. Rodgers has said there will be changes.

[Bert]

I’m sure this has already been asked but is there a stream available tonight?

[Dan]

I've heard 9 changes. Jesus Christ.

I dont mind a couple of changes really. The replacements are more than capable. Just want the press back after the last 2 games

Yes, it's on tv in other countries so should be a few about.

[Ian Nacho]

I can see Perez playing up top today. 

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Think we might struggle today though I am hoping for a positive response from Rodgers tactically and the team.

Wouldn't surprise me to be honest and if so I assume it's Schmeichel and Soyuncu who keep their places with Justin, Morgan, Fuchs, Albrighton, Choudhury, Gray, Perez and Iheanacho coming in. Struggling to think of the 9th obvious replacement though unless it's one of the U23s?

[RowlattsFox]

I'd be surprised if it's as many as 9, don't think we have 9 squad players who can come in unless we're including Amartey, Benkovic and James.

So I’ve heard.

[ian_marshall]

I fully expect changes to be made, but have to question why we didn't put out a weakened side against Liverpool knowing a win was unlikely and following the defeat to Man City there's wasn't much to play for. Would much rather us have gone full strength today with a fresh team to take all three points off West Ham.

[Guest An Sionnach]

How about moving moving our attack minded full backs forward and bringing Justin and Fuchs in behind them. Like Schmeichel, Justin, Morgan, Soyuncu, Fuchs, Hamza , Pereira, Maddison , Chilwell, Iheanacho , Vardy. No problems out wide now. Gives Wilf and Jonny a rest, they need it after the last two matches.
