For some reason Im looking forward to this game. Not sure why really. Firstly we are shite, its bloody cold and I'm going on my own for the first time in years because my son cant make it.

It will warm 4 deg at K before dropping.
From BBC. With VP at only 347 feet we should be safe:
A band of rain, sleet and snow will spread east across the area on Saturday morning. 2-4 cm of snow are likely in places above 200 m,

Can see this being a v uncomfortable day indeed. Between lamberts ineptitude on the pitch and the off the pitch stuff I think liverpool will enjoy today. No pressure on them.

I do hope they don't risk Gerrard's hamstring. His goal scoring record against us is very good.

                       Guzan

Hutton    Okore   Clark   Cissokho

          Sanchez      Delph

Bacuna             Gil            Grealish

                      Benteke

Subs:  Given, Lowton, Baker, Westwood, Cole, Weimann, Agbonlahor

Edit- is Clark suspended?

Was going to say 92_93 but the arsenal game was a Monday night at christmas if I recall correctly. And we won all three. Sigh.

I hope he plays. Where as he used to be the nemesis for us he is now our best hope.
