It will be the 4th match in 11 days with a trip to Arsenal before our match.So they will be tired atleast if not fielding a weakened Team.Unlike last time when we had players tired after international break whereas they were fresh.

So we will have the upperhand even if it is at Brittania.

We should've beaten them in the last fixture. If we can field a strong team and avoid conceding early, I can see this being a very winnable fixture for us. These matches are where NOT playing European football will benefit us. As BeautifuGame pointed out, our squad will be relatively rested and fresh, where theirs will have played 4 games in 11 days. It's not an easy draw, but I'm not counting us out just yet.

So who are we playing!!!

by Don't call me James on Sun Sep 25, 2011 4:00 pm

Just do what we did against them last time, but have Stevie in.
We'll get the result. Unless there's ANOTHER penalty given away. :facepalm:

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has launched a blistering attack on the "disgraceful" fixture scheduling which will see his side play Manchester City and then a Carling Cup tie with Chelsea within 48 hours. He has warned fans they should consider whether or not to buy tickets for the cup tie as he may field a youth team at Stamford Bridge. "The one thing I will say to our fans is to think carefully before buying tickets for the League Cup game. We do not want them spending their money and then we decide there is no other option but to use only young players in the tie," he said.

So umm... I guess we can't be that surprised if our League Cup run will end at Stamford Bridge...

I think our Carling Cup team is actually better than our league team...so I wouldn't go that far Very Happy

And the Chelsea fans will be left going "but... but... McEahran.. Sad

No but seriously, I haven't got high hopes about this one. Don't see that as a too bad thing either.

At least we have the second leg at home against City.

Still, I'm not particularly happy we have:

Jan 3: ManCity (A)
Jan 11: ManCity (A)
Jan 24: ManCity (H)

With the way we came after them in the last fixture, I think they may be thinking the same thing.
