Bring Torres on for the second half so he can get match fit and maybe score a couple of goals.

I'm putting Nemeth in as I'd love to see him play but cant see it, more likely to be Keane.

Its a great opportunity to work on the fitness of Skrtel and Torres so I think they'll both play, Torres for 60 mins as liong as he has fully recovered.

It'll also be interested to see if Pennant plays... to put him in the shop wondow or not...

I'll prefer no to involve Torres in that game at all and put him on the bench for the 10th Jan away to Stoke...

N not to include Pennant in the side to let him know that he can leave and keep him eligible for the FA Cup in case he moves to an EPL side (of course with a clause that he cannot play against us this season)...

Ive gone quite strong as I think it will be a harder game then some imagine.

I agree Red that it will not be an easy game but I think the younger team that I have put above would be able to handle it. Also I think we will need Torres more against Stoke as it will probs be a difficult game for us.

Interesting not one person has named Stevie G in the side.

I dont think he would originally have played either but giving the events of the last week in fact I think it may have increased the possibility of him playing to help him get his mind back on playing.

Thoughts anyone?

Think it will be better not to play him at all to avoid the mess with the media...

Against Stoke, things will calm down a bit, and this game is more important than the Preston's one, so guess Raffa will rightly rest Stevie tomorrow...

According to Sky Sports he will be playing in the Preston game, this for me is a good idea as if he is going to have a bad game then it will be ok as we wont be relying on him too much.
