. Dudek
Raven Pellegrino Carra Traore
Nunez Alonso Gerrard Riise
Le Tallec Morientes
Bench:
Carson
Warnock
Hyypia
Garcia
Biscan
This is why I think he'll pick this team:
1. Rafa will want to utilise pellegrino and morientes as they weren't involved in midweek and wont be next wednesday.
2. In these situations he tends to rest key players in this case Finnan and Garcia.
3. Alonso will need at least one premiership game if he's to be ready for next weeks game.
4. Le Tallec played well in midweek and will be played in order for garcia to be given a rest.
5. Dudek will be recalled assuming he'll be fit following carson's mistake(dont get me wrong i still think sc will be a v. good keeper)
6. Rafa shocks us at times bringing less accomplished players into the mix(diao in for alonso against everton
)
