Everton at Woodison tomorrow..

I get a feeling that Everton are getting tired now, they don't have a big squad, Cahill and Arteta have been struggling with injuries and Jo is cup tied so hopefully we can take advantage of this as i'm sure the confidence will be high after the win over Chelsea.

It will be interesting to see what team Rafa fields. The sale of Keane means that there just aren't that many options to play if he wants to rest Torres. Can't see Kuyt playing as a lone striker somehow...

personally I'd like to see this tomorrow:

------------------------Reina-----------------------------------------

----Arbeloa---------Carra---------Agger------------Aurellio-----------

-----------------------Masch-----------Alonso----------------------------

------Benayoun----------------Gerrard----------------Riera------------

-------------------------------Torres--------------------------------------

I think that front 4 would give Everton a lot of problems. Agger surely has to get a game.

Yossi is in awesome form at the moment. Needs to keep playing.

Kuyt "MOTM" will have his place.

Burnley have just knocked out West Brom. They're on it again. 3-1

TS, Rafa is a dick. Doesn't know that this Israeli is a gem

Think Burnley will have played more games than Man Utd in all comps this season, jesus.

Nice to get Burnley again.

Hopefully if Bendtner gets the chance he will make amends for his efforts on goal at Turf Moor.

That's what i was thinking the likes of Ramsey, Vela and Co would like a chance to set the record staright providing we dispatch Cardiff.

I do hope Burnley get promoted though. Play very good football for a Championship side.

-------------------Reina---------------------

Arbeloa---Carra---------Agger---Dossena

-------------Alonso---Lucas----------------

Kuyt------------Gerrard--------------Yossi

-------------------Babel--------------------

Sadly I see the Masch and Lucas partnership return

Not sure whether Torres or Babel will start, so that probably means EggNog will start though I rather have him upfront than Kuyt. Torres can be on the bench if need be.

20th Anniversary of Hillsborough in a couple of months, I hope Rafa doesn't throw a suprise and plays a fairly strong team.

The scum will surely have to actually attack more often than once or twice unlike at Anfield so depending on the line up I'm fairly confident we can get the result we need.

Burnley! their 1st team squad lost to the local US team's U-23 team.

do you just copy and paste the same team and formation for every game? The only debatable position being on the right side?

riera for example was poor in the last game, maybe needs a rest, and benayoun should take his place

do you really need the cultured passing of agger in defence or the greater aerial help that skertl would give considering all everton are going to do is defend and hope to score from a set-piece?

Hyppia and Agger should start. Lucas too. I'd like to see Degen at right back and Dossena at left back. Play Benyanoon in the middle off Ngog with El Zhar, Babel, Plessis and Cavelieri all starting.

Our squad is tiny, the game is almost certain to be a draw no matter who we field so may as well give the fringe players a run out.

Burnley to win the cup

Moyes gets into the "claim the opposition always get favoured by refs so that the ref in our upcoming game/s has mental pressure to give decisions our way" act:

btw, does anyone know what happens if the game tonight is also a draw? Extra time, or more replays?

depends on the score. If it's 1-1 it goes to extra time, if it's 0-0 away goals count. If it's 2-2 or 3-3 pigs will fly.

So what is your expectation Glenn ?

I expect a shit game. I hope Rafa doesn't play Lucas, Mascherano and Kuyt together. If we go through and Torres doesn't get injured I'll be happy. If we go out and Torres doesn't get injured I'll be indifferent, if we go out and Torres gets injured I wont sleep.

Can't really afford to lose Arbeloa either, I wonder if Darby might get a game.

I hope Liverpool win, good luck.

LUCAS RETURNS TO FACE EVERTON
Paul Hassall at Goodison Park 04 February 2009

Lucas Leiva is recalled to the starting line-up as Liverpool look to book their place in round five of the FA Cup at the expense of Everton at Goodison Park tonight. Listen live NOW.
The Brazilian comes in for Javier Mascherano and is one of two changes from the side that beat Chelsea with Andrea Dossena replacing Fabio Aurelio.

The Liverpool team in full: Reina, Arbeloa, Dossena, Carragher, Skrtel, Lucas, Alonso, Gerrard, Kuyt, Riera, Torres. Subs: Cavalieri, Hyypia, Agger, Benayoun, Babel, Mascherano, El Zhar.

I knew he would play lucas so at least he dropped Mascha

Rafa clearly favours skrtel over agger which worries me. I also am baffled he thinks Kuyt deserves a spot ahead of yossi

I'm looking forward to seeing everton come out of their own box tonight but I won't get my hopes up until I actually see it happen

Villa:


Go team!
