Two very attacking teams which I find quite surprising.

Not sure I like Lalanna, Coutinho and Firmino all starting. Should be interesting though.

Our line-up seems more offensive than I expected. I think it shows just how much we've been missing some invention in our final third, that we've reverted to playing 6 players that can all contribute throughout midfield and attack, not to mention two attacking full-backs.
As for United. Fellaini will cause us problems. I wouldn't write off their attacking unit either. They've been way more fluid of late, and with Mata, they wouldn't have suffered a defeat last weekend. Set up perfectly for us, but lets see how both teams approach it.

I wouldn't have minded seeing Origi on the wing instead of lallana to get some pace in our play. But still probably the strongest team we could put out with Milner out

We are fluid but no killer instinct and no aerial threat whatsoever, I would of hoped Benteke to start alongside Sturridge to give us that little bit extra in the air such as knock downs for our running midfielders, at the moment it just looks too pedestrian, there is no way through.
Back to Back World Champions baby!
