Got feeling El Ghazi will start on the left.

Pack rest of side with midfielders as can't be leaving CM area wide open v this lot as that's asking for trouble and Gerrard been very smart with that so far.

Don’t be daft. The club will have said stay safe.  Or a big fine.

I will say this now. I don't like Watkins and ings starting together. I would rather have JPB starting wide with ollie up the middle.
