Liverpool team news: News of great consequence is that unless Rodgers is pulling early-season Mourinho-Costa shenanigans, Daniel Sturridge will NOT play. That means more Mario Balotelli. Then again, Balotelli will eventually snap out of it, and for him and for Liverpool there will not come a better time to do so than Saturday. Alternatively, hell just snap and moon the Kop. News of basically no consequence include injuries to Mamadou Sakho, Jon Flanagan (the Red Cafu, remember?), Jose Enrique, and Suso. The increasingly under-pressure ex-Chelsea youth and reserves coach has claimed that he wasnt throwing in the towel midweek against Real Madrid by fielding a B team, but somehow I truly doubt hell start this game, too, without Raheem Sterling, Jordan Henderson, Philippe Coutinho, and Steven Gerrard. In an ideal scenario for us none of that will matter anyway, as Rodgerss whole house of cards has been exposed and falling down rather spectacularly without Luis Suarezs human sacrifices to keep it up and steady. With the core of the team fully rested and everybody else getting an extra 24 hours to recover when compared to Chelsea, Rodgers has given himself the best chance of winning. Its a smart move, to be sure, and one that he very much needs to see bear fruit. Liverpool have just two wins at home all season in the Premier League, and have just one win in their last five in all competitions. -LEO-
