1-3, Skrtel, Suarez 2.
I hope they get screwed over by some terrible decision like we did last season.

I don't hate Dowd, even if we've had a few harsh ones from him at times.
Oh god, Flanagan is shite, reminds me of Spearing in the way he has never been good enough and should of been sold way before his time, championship full back, just like Spearing is a championship player.
The only positive is Cissokho wont be playing but its still like having to choose between a dog shit sandwich or a cat shit one.
I'd rather Brad Smith get the nod at left-back. Pacy, aggressive and with the confidence to take a derby debut in his stride.
I hope these rumours are just to lull Everton into a false sense of confidence.
I thought Flanno played well against Arsenal and offered a reasonable outlet going forwards. I'm perfectly comfortable with his inclusion and think it would show that Rodgers isn't going to persist with someone who isn't performing, just because he signed him.
To be honest I thought Flanno did ok against Arsenal but I felt that as an attacking option he was non existant. As a result the Arsenal midfield were able to concentrate and succeed in overrunning our midfield. That's just how I saw it, maybe I was wrong.
Amen to that
Seeing as we play attacking fullbacks who's priority isn't really to defend, Flanagan is fucking gash.
He might make it as a championship player who's job in a flat back 4, where's all 4 defenders just do defending. Him one side, Cissokho the other. Maybe Spearing bolstering their midfield with Morgan upfront.

that sounds like such a depressing team
Both teams to score.
Red card, hopefully Barkley or McCarthy getting a bit excited. Barry will be booked also. Hopefully Suarez can rob possession if we press high up the field and force a player into pulling him down.
A goal scored from a dead ball thanks to Gerrard / Baines.
An injury to Lakuku or Sturridge.
One of the keepers will be MOTM.

2 - 1 Gerrard (pen) cancelled out by Lukaku from a set piece and Suarez with the winner in the second half. If we play high tempo and press them all over the park like we did Fulham we can make them pay. Martinez has them playing the ball on the deck which some of their players are just not that comfortable with, if we keep the pressure up for at least 60 minutes the difference in class will tell with Coutinho and Suarez capitalising
I dont expect Sturridge to start, and Id like to see us line up like this
----------------Mingolet
Johnson-Skrtel-Agger-Sahko
--------Allen-----------Lucas
Henderson-Gerrard--Coutinho--
----------------Suarez

I hope flannogan has the game of his life then, he'll need to with Baines there or we'll be opened up time & again.
I was a boy in blue, now I'm a man in red... but Liverpool as a city exists to win trophies and I worry it will be left behind

The nerves that will grip me on Saturday will be just as intense as they were on October 20 1984 when, as a six-year-old, I first experienced the Merseyside derby.
I went to Anfield that day as an Evertonian and had my dreams made when Graeme Sharp scored a goal that went down in folklore, a 25-yard volley that flew past Bruce Grobbelaar. I can still hear John Motson’s commentary from Match of the Day.
Everton meant everything to me when I was growing up, so the change from being a Blue to becoming Red wasn’t easy. The transition started when I went full-time at Anfield when I was 16. It took time but now there should be no question of my loyalties. I’m Liverpool to the core.

Red is best: Carragher (left) swapped his allegiance to the red half of the city when he joined Liverpool
VIDEO: Jamie Carragher's first experience of a Merseyside derby in 1984
So I will be sitting in the away end for the first time on Saturday, hoping I will leave the stadium as ecstatic as I did at Anfield 29 years ago. I can’t wait for the experience but it is going to be strange, knowing that I can’t have an impact on the final score. In some respect, I might even be more nervous.
During my playing career no match meant more than the one across Stanley Park. I loved playing at Goodison. The proximity of the crowd, the tightness of the ground, the noise; walking up the tunnel when the theme from Z-Cars was playing made it feel like you were entering the lion’s den.
The fear of losing there would torment me during the build-up. Experience made no difference to my state of mind. The desolation of defeat was unbearable. A 3-0 defeat in September 2006 was the worst I have ever felt after a game. I wasn’t fit but kidded myself I was OK. I let everyone down.
But winning was glorious and I’m proud of my record of nine victories from 13 trips to Goodison in the Premier League. Steven Gerrard and I would go round Melwood in the days beforehand, reminding the other players what was at stake.
We understood the magnitude of the occasion. Liverpool had better players than Everton during the 1990s but they were frequently bullied at Goodison, especially by Joe Royle’s Dogs of War. Once we started matching their desire and work rate, we changed the balance.
My feelings on the importance of the Merseyside derby will never change but the way this contest is viewed nationally certainly has. When I first started going to the game it was the biggest fixture in the country. Between 1982 and 1988 the league title never left our city.
If you had said back then the two clubs would only add one more Championship in the next 25 years, no bookmaker would have taken a bet on it but that is the case. Everton’s last trophy was the FA Cup in 1995; Liverpool have managed one League Cup in seven years. It is an embarrassing return.
It can’t continue. Liverpool as a city exists to win trophies. Between the two clubs they have amassed 83 major honours; more than Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham combined — they have 82 — and Manchester has collected 77.
That was then: Liverpool dominated during the 1980s, winning the First Division title six times in the decade
Long time ago: Everton have not won a trophy since they lifted the FA Cup almost 20 years ago in 1995
Jumping for joy: Joe Royle (left) was in charge of Everton when they beat Manchester United at Wembley
The rivalry between us should never diminish but we should also want to remain as the country’s leading football city. There are two young, hungry managers in charge now and they need all the assistance from their boards they can get if they are to uphold the tradition.
Brendan Rodgers is in his second year at Anfield and is really beginning to stamp his ideas on the team. Last season he travelled to Goodison with his side in 13th place having taken nine points from nine games; this time three points will put Liverpool top of the pile. His ideas for the way he sees football being played are similar to those of Roberto Martinez.
I worked with Roberto on television during Euro 2012 and his knowledge of football was encyclopaedic.
On top: Carragher enjoyed plenty of derby-day success against rivals Everton as a player with Liverpool
Every game I watched with him, he was aware of who each player was and which club they came from. He is a big student of the game and would always go off to watch teams training, looking to glean information.
Of course, he was in the running to become Liverpool manager. When we spoke about it in Poland — Brendan had already been appointed by then — he told me that one of his ideas would have been to use me as a sweeper.
One of the main tasks he has is to get rid of the mental block Everton have with Liverpool. For all the good work David Moyes did — his ability to spot players who the club sold for big profits enabled Martinez to spend big this summer — his teams found it hard against us.
Head to head: Brendan Rodgers (left) and Roberto Martinez will have their sides fired up for the derby
The biggest challenge he faces is the one also confronting Rodgers — restoring a trophy-winning tradition and making the rest of the country take notice once more.
I travel the country now and see fantastic stadiums. I worry Liverpool as a footballing city will be left behind. Goodison, in particular, with its obstructed views and wooden seats, looks out of place compared with modern-day arenas. A revamp of Anfield, meanwhile, is long overdue.
We have an unbeatable history and the passion is unrivalled. Both sets of fans deserve teams that can make them proud once more.
