Another game, another must win, another cup final.
Liverpool have had the better of us the past few seasons, but it's about time we paid them back with a win of our own and this team is more than capable of doing that.
We saw on the weekend that they get shaky at the back, losing a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2. They've played some good football and beaten good teams but we seem to be the hardest game for most teams at the moment.
We need to keep Coutinho quiet, which I'd try to do by putting Dier or Dembele on him, then the other one on Firminho if fit. Our backline has been solid, I think they'll be tested against Sturridge but Toby and Wimmer have enough in them to stop him.
[formation=4231, Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Rose, Dier, Dembele, Lamela, Alli, Eriksen, Kane][/formation]
Have Vertonghen and Clinton on the bench if fit. Team picks itself.
Go there and play like we have in our last 2 games and we'll be a really problem for them.
Let's do this.
