Should be fun.

Could be just a case of outscoring them at home, then pray we have the likes of Neville, Rio etc fit for the second leg.

You could play:

O'Shea Brown Heinze Richardson
-------Fletcher Carrick

Richardson is injured.

It only gets worse

Can you spare R. Bravo?

OOOOOOOOHHHHH CAMPIONE
THE ONE AND ONLY
WE'RE LIVERPOOOOOL

THEY SAY OUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED, WE'RE NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE
BUT SCOUSERS RULE THE COUNTRY LIKE WE'VE ALWAYS DONE BEFORE

Come on Liverpool!!!!!!!!!

This is my thread, I can do what I like manc, oh sorry you're not from manchester are you like all the other 'Mancs' on here

I wouldn't want to be a Manc, they are all chavs. Scousers are the same.

I think Utd will stick out a hard fought 1-0 home win.

Chelsea I think will steamroller Liverpool 2 or 3-0

I certainly don't think this will happen in Europe. Do you mean aggregate or first leg score?

I can not see this happening TBH, Chelsea-Liverpool games in Europe are always tight affairs, this is because of the tactics used by Benitez and Mourinho, there is no way either would let their team lose 3-0 or more in the first leg, I just can't see it happening, especially seeing as both teams are on good form

Chelsea are on much better form that Liverpool at the moment + I'm sure they'll be really motivated to get the quad.

They also have all their main players back, though Ballack looks like he'll be ruled out now.

Not much better, we haven't lost in a fair while, United in fact was the last league game we lost on the 3rd of march.

although Chelsea will want the 4 cups, we need this more than ever as it's the only cup we can win and we want that 6th cup, that's for sure, it would be a brilliant achievement.

Having the second leg at Anfield is a huge advantage, The atmosphere will eclipse anything you've seen this season, and it could be as good as the 2005 one, I don't see why not

It's a 50 50 if ever I saw one.

What a coincidence, I've just noticed Ballack and S4P's birthday's are on wednesday!, Here's hoping they don't get a good evening present..

Aye, I expect Chelsea to win though so they'll be celebrating their birthdays in style.

Chelsea may only win 1-0 but I swear they won't concede

:)

We will pay you to take him!

Good news for you is that you will be facing a lightweight attack of Gilardino and maybe Olivera. Inzaghi is doubtful, Ronaldo is cup-tied.

Bad news for you is that Kaka is rested, and Pirlo is back in form - his pass that Oliveira almost scored was mindblowing yesterday, and was his fk off the post into the net. You will need carrick and fletcher to be in top form to control those two mischief makers.

The Milan defence also leaks goals, so the best strategy would be to mindlessly attack them.

Super!

Important battles

mikel..flump vrs masch...alonso

Drogba vrs Carragher

Crouch vrs Terry

Joe cole vrs riise/finnan

Gerrard vrs Cole

The game has stalemate written all over it with the odd gerrard thunderbolt or hoof onto drogba's head and goal out of nothing mixed in

or just maybe it will surprise everyone

I hope a pray for a quick goal so that the teams loosen up..

you'll need more than a quick goal for that to happen mate

If chelsea score first it probably won't really change our plans

Perhaps if we score first it will make a difference to chelsea and jose will do his 'make a scapegoat of the right back... put essien there and put on the creative player he should have started with ' tactical masterstroke

If Drogba and Joe cole turn up then I worry for us. Our central midfield is slightly better than theirs so we will be able to do a great containing job. But there is no accounting for individual genius.

There certainly won't be enough space on the pitch for a thrilling end to end game so hopefully it excites in a tactical way for the neutrals. either way it will be hell to watch for both sets of supporters

allthough im not a fan of the way either teams plays there is alot of tactics to follow. thses type of games are the ones which should be tactical. actually looking forward to it. but the milan-man utd game is still the one to follow since both teams might not have big difficulties opening up the other sides defence.

are you actually serious?

What's shocking? Gerrard, Mascherano and Alonso are better than lampard, makalele and Ballack

At controlling the game - if Essien mikel and Maka/ballack play it would a different story.

Essien is out of wednesdays game. Suspended
