Anfield, Liverpool January 19, 2012; 15:00 GMT *** Liverpool FC can host Chelsea FC this Sunday whilst the battle for the European locations really gets hotter. Rafael Benitez can make a mental go back to his old team and is probably to get a warm reception from the Anfield devoted. Nevertheless, all pleasantries is likely to be left on the side-lines as soon as kick-off whistle blows. Only 2 points split Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham while Liverpool are in pursuit of their local opponents Everton. Three items from this game will therefore be crucial to each clubas hopes of achieving its desires. With Beniteza spectre emerging large, this game will certainly be a true potboiler. Liverpool is going to be looking after two frustrating goalless attracts against West Ham and Reading to get back once again to successful ways. The Reds show inconsistent form through the time that has generated them receding of the competition for the Champions League areas. The jury is still out on Brendan Rodgersa project and it's likely that Kopites will have to endure another year without Champions League baseball next year. The team has managed to get just one gain therefore much against groups which remain above them in the category and Brendan Rodgers will be hoping to change that weekend. Former manager was loved by a win is a must for Liverpool even at the expense of their much. Chelsea also have had a campaign after the highs of winning the Champions League. The cash was splashed by roman Abramovic on the summer benefiting from of the most effective talents such as for instance Eden Hazard and Oscar. The Blues started out together of the title favourites but have didn't live up to the expectations of fans. The sacking of Di Matteo and the appointment of a guy who once famously said heall never handle Chelsea did not turn their fortunes, Chelsea today stay 20 points behind the group leaders, are out of both domestic glasses and are dangerously close to finishing out of the top 4 for the 2nd consecutive year. Interim boss Benitez would hope he can string a run of benefits till the conclusion of the season and protected Champions League diploma for Chelsea. A sterling job has been done by brendan Rodgersa medical team to help keep accidents to a minimum in 2013. Joe Allen may skip the remaining period after his shoulder function while Fabio Borini and Martin Kelly are near to returning to first group activity. Raheem Sterling remains recuperating from his thigh harm and is unlikely to feature for the rest of the plan. Rodgers could have a genuine choice frustration ahead of this game. His group have did not report within the last 2 suits and he will have to find a method to obtain the targets streaming again without compromising on defensive balance. Liverpool have held many clean sheets in 2013 but have been guilty of conceding gentle targets. With a gain essential to Liverpoolas hopes Rodgers will probably just do it with a fighting 4-3-3 formation at home against Chelsea. Liverpoolas support should be unchanged from the last game, however the kind of Glen Johnson in recent months should be a cause for concern for Rodgers. Pepe Reina, who'd an excellent game against Reading, goes to begin at target while Daniel Agger and Jamie Carragher will once more match up at center back and will be entrusted with keeping a star studded Chelsea invasion at bay. Enrique and Johnson will provide the width down the flanks for Liverpool and will turn to get forward at every opportunity. Lucas will soon be given with the unenviable task of shackling Spanish genius Juan Mata. The former Valencia man is in his 2nd time with the club and has been in imperious sort. Mata has been a great light in a disappointing year for The Blues and his nomination for the PFA Player Of The Year award is thoroughly deserved. Gerrard will once more don the play-maker role for the medial side but will likewise have an essential defensive work to accomplish against Lampard and Ramirez. Benitezas clubs are distinguished due to their demanding and Liverpoolas captain is unlikely to be provided with enough time on the ball. Gerrard is unlikely to break forward and reveal the midfield in this sport. This season have been put in a string of good performances by henderson and his energy will be crucial that you help Liverpool get a handle on the midfield. Henderson may play the box to box midfielder position for Liverpool and can check out course resistance midfield runners like Ramirez although also joining in the attack at every possible opportunity. Coutinho has been excellent for Liverpool since his A 8.5 million move from Inter Milan. The Brazilian has made a series of approaching contributions for his side and has already been pretty effective at pressing the ball high up the message. He'll start on the left for Liverpool. Downing has put in a sequence of constant performances and will provide the balance to the attack on the other flank. League top scorer Luis Suarez will be the spearhead to the strike and will look to increase just take his tally after dark 30 objectives tag. Rodgers may teach his forward line to be mobile to move Chelsea defenders out of position and be in behind the defense. Sturridge will probably start from the seat with this game but could have an important role to play instead. The former Chelsea forward will undoubtedly be eager to report against his former team and his speed and power can come in handy against an exhausting Chelsea defence. Rafa Benitez has a sensational array of expertise at his disposal at Chelsea but has failed to have them doing as a product through the length of the year. The Champions League winning manager has nearly all of his group fit for the game but will probably miss Ashley Cole and Gary Cahill who are experiencing fit exercise. Marko Marin also misses out in this sport as a result of thigh injury while Romeu remains a lengthy term injury absentee. Benitez favours a tight 4-2-3-1 development and he's likely to use the same against Liverpool and try and win on the counter attack. Petr Cech begins at target for Chelsea and may have a busy day from the likes of Suarez. Goals were scored two by john Terry in the London derby against Fulham but it wouldnat be shocking to see Benitez confining him to the bench for this game. Luiz appears certain to start while Benitez might change Ivanovic back to centre back to counter the threat of Suarez. Azpilicueta will have while Ryan Bertrand will begin the opposite flank at left back play a significant part keeping in mind Coutinho silent for this game. Both defenders are done in the years ahead and will look to participate in the problems. Lampard has been around good form this season and Benitez probably will use him as a holding midfielder. The Englishman hasn't been offered a new deal yet by his club but going by current performances, Chelsea could do with someone of his experience in the medial side. Ramirez will play the part of a midfielder and will look link up with the Chelsea attacking quartet. Oscar, Mata and Hazard are typical likely to get starts against Liverpool and the trio will look to provide true incisiveness to the Chelsea assault. All three are extremely intelligent players and have excellent positional understanding along with great strategy and skill on the ball. Liverpool defenders are likely to have a torrid time from the group who are likely to move and interchange into pockets of space all sport. Demba Ba will provide the center point to the attack for Chelsea and his power and endure play will be important in finding Chelseaas talented trio active in the attack. Demba Ba is a fantastic finisher and he's likely to hide and his way is come by chances which. Liverpool will therefore need certainly to discover a way to isolate the Senegalese striker. Liverpoolas top scorer has been productive throughout the period but has recently gone 4 games without score. With Van Persie warm on his heels for the Golden Boot prize Luis Suarez could very well come good in this game. The Uruguayanas fighting spirit has seen him embroiled in many controversies but there might be no issues of his footballing potential. Suarez has increased to the event on multiple occasions and Liverpool supporters can once more be counting on him to report against Chelsea. Suarez has been in imperious kind playing in the afalse 9a situation and has the ability to find room in the tightest parts. Liverpoolas No. 7 will move around the penalty area and should turn to dribble and labyrinth his way after dark Chelsea defenders. Expect plenty of darting and nutmegs runs behind the support from Suarez through the entire game. Goal No. 30 may shortly be on the cards for the complicated forward. Since his big money transfer from Ligue 1, Eden Hazard has devote some constant performances and has periodically showed flashes of brilliance for Chelsea. It is probably that Eden Hazard will have a critical role to play in deciding the outcome of the match, while much of the emphasis will be on Juan Mata. Blessed with great pace, stability and dribbling capacity, Hazard will be a constant threat down the flanks and his unpredictability may help Chelsea uncover the Liverpool support. Hazard will look to link up together with his other Chelsea team-mates and build goal scoring opportunities. The skilled Belgian trouble Pepe Reina from beyond your penalty area and might isn't afraid to get pictures from selection. Liverpool and Chelsea will both be fired up with this sport and will check out get maximum points. Once the two groups locked horns at Stamford Bridge, the stronger side was looked clearly by Chelsea but Liverpool could leave with a point. Things may be put by the home advantage in favour for The Reds but Chelsea appear to have too much firepower. We will get a score draw in this game.
