THE REDS MEET THE HOT BLUES AT ANFIELD AFTER TIRERING UCL Chelsea and Liver are bros. Lets go through the list then. To of it, slippery Gerard. Then, The ghost goal. Cole goal. 2- goal. Alex howitzer. Bosingwa kung-fu. The Bite (Part II). Gerrard backpass. Liverpool Torres. Chelsea Torres. Chelsea Glen Johnson. Liverpool Glen Johnson. Raul Meireles MRLSH. Yossi the hobo Benayoun. Studge grudge. Plastic flags. Hero of Istanbul. Chelsea Interim waiter. Mourinho protege. Defending is easy. Over the last decade or so, no Chelsea visit to Anfield has found itself short of story- lines. The intense cross- country, inter-city rivalry may have snoozed for just a little bit in recent years as both teams made a habit of underachieving in the Premier League, but it certainly burst back into life last season. And as Liverpool look to recover the already broken pieces of their current season and Chelsea go for the club record number of matches unbeaten to start a season, the fun times against the Reds are back in full effect once again. Date / Time: Saturday, November 8, 2014, 12:45 GMT; 7:45am EST; 6:15pm IST Venue: Anfield, Liverpool, England Referee: Anthony Taylor - the Premier Leagues fourth youngest referee at 36. Forecast: Cold, breezy, rainy. Winter is here. Daniel Sturridge will NOT play. That means more Mario Balotelli . Then again, Balotelli will eventually snap out of it, and for him and for Liverpool there will not come a better time to do so than Saturday. Alternatively, hell just snap and moon the Kop. Hahahha. I couldnt help it.. Raheem Sterling , Jordan Henderson , Philippe Coutinho , and Steven Gerrard start. In an ideal scenario for us none of that will matter anyway, as Rodgerss whole house of cards has been exposed and falling down rather spectacularly without Luis Suarezs human sacrifices to keep it up and steady. With the core of the team fully rested and everybody else getting an extra 24 hours to recover when compared to Chelsea, Rodgers has given himself the best chance of winning. Chelsea team news: Everybody (including Costa, Remy, Azpilicueta, Mikel) is happy, healthy, shiny. At least on the surface. No suspensions, no major injuries, and only a few players woefully out of form. I cant quite decide if its a good thing or a bad thing that we can basically pick the lineup. Its wonderful to have 9+ positions locked down with top class players performing at a high level -- and the teams results and general play have probably benefited from that stability -- but as weve seen a bit of complacency starting to creep in, it could also be nice to shake things up a bit and ensure that players dont get too comfortable. Perhaps Ramires might provide an alternative midfield look instead of, say, Willian? Overall, Chelsea have won 53 (including two in a row) and lost 79 of the previous 168 meetings (but just one of the last six). #KTBFFH
