Some really interesting games - three derbies, tricky game for Arsenal and Spurs vs City.

Not confident for our game, our defence is a mess and our midfield will have to be at the races in a physical game. But we have SAS and Everton haven't win at Anfield since 1995 so that gives me some confidence.

Think United will win comfortably but think Spurs will get beat by a few so the winner of our game will be in a very good position in terms of 4th.

Chelsea will destroy West Ham unless Jose shuts up shop at 2-0.

Derby night   

Easy game for Liverpool, cant recall an Everton win. Meanwhile we play Cardiff, i'd be happy with a point.

Nothing will be easy about it - Everton are exactly the type of team that can cause us loads of problems; they're physical, a huge threat from set pieces but can equally play it around when they want to. By the sounds of things we're going to play 4-2-4 again   if Lukaku fancies this tonight the bait is there for him - Skrtel and Toure.

As I've been saying our best hope is that SAS are in freakish form so we can simply out score them.

So you are going to lose to Arsenal in London, as you never beat them there, and yet will probably lose to Everton at home, though that hasn't happened since 1999?

Chin up la

Didn't say we'd lose tonight but it's definitely not going to be easy and I think the most likely result is a draw which would suit them more than us.

2-0 I say. Them bitter blues are quite overrated.

@LFC: Confirmed #LFC team v @Everton: Mignolet, Cissokho, Skrtel, Toure, Flanagan, Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho, Sturridge, Sterling, Suarez

: Everton Team - Howard ; Stones, Alcaraz, Jagielka, Baines ; McCarthy, Barry ; Mirallas, Barkley, Pienaar ; Lukaku

should be goals in that one. Liverpool's defence looks lol-worthy on paper.

Huummmm, that defence being protected by Gerrard and Henderson is a recipe for a clean sheet

Both defences look poor. Our midfield is awful.

Merseyside derby on a Tuesday night. So wrong.  

Southampton: Boruc, Chambers, Fonte, Yoshida, Shaw, Cork, Schneiderlin, Rodriguez, Steven Davis, Lallana, Gallagher. Subs: Kelvin Davis, Clyne, Wanyama, Ward-Prowse, Do Prado, Hooiveld, Isgrove.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Arteta, Gnabry, Ozil, Cazorla, Giroud. Subs: Vermaelen, Podolski, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Fabianski, Bendtner, Jenkinson, Gibbs.

Referee: Lee Mason.

HSWHW is back...so 1-0 already...would have been miles ahead of the rest if he stayed fit for the last months.

nice goal. bet Sturridge turns shit as soon as he puts England shirt on.

Everton are even worse then I thought, though Pool are quite good these days.

BOOM!!!

This has comfortably been our worst performance of the season. I hope Wilshere's injury wasn't as a result of Wenger playing him on against Coventry when he looked like he'd picked up an injury towards the end of the 1st half, otherwise what a stupid decision is that turning out to be. We can't get the ball up the pitch, Arteta is playing exactly like a player who's just got back from injury.

Monreal has been very shaky tonight. Not the only one though, rest of the team bar Kos and Merte have been shite too.

Bring on Chambo for Arteta, Poldi for Gnabry.

Best we can hope for here is a point.

PS: Don't ever want to see a midfield partnership of Arteta-Flamini again.

quick turnaround by Arsenal.

quick equalizer by Southampton

Goals goals goals

We want ten

Damn, Gerrard offers Sturridge the penalty and he rattles it miles over

Why does Suarez never take pens? I'm missing out on FF points there.

Remy sent off after Bradley Johnson fakes a headbutt. Those foreigners.  

Johnson sent off aswell.

Flamini sent off for stupid 2-footed challenge.

Johnson pushed Remy, so Remy pushed him back, they squared up and Johnson throws himself backwards as if he's been nutted. That red better be appealed.

Followed the match on text only but sounded like the overdue reality check arrived and we got what we deserved. We'll be third by this time tomorrow. Lucky the next match is Palace at home.

Flamini   

Damn!!!!! This was a must win game. We really needed that cushion going in to that brutal run of fixtures. I hope we don't get sucked into the race for 3rd/4th.

What a stupid tackle from Flamini! He likes going in two footed, was bound to get sent off for one those. Arsene should have a word.

Ozil was terrific in the 2nd half. Such a shame he didn't have any outlets to pass the ball to. I'm still gutted over that Walcott injury. Oh well...
