This should be a no brainer but after tonight i must admit im worried about teams that kick us in the air.
1-1 or 0-0 we wont loose this one
p.s I hope im wrong and we stuff em 5-0

As we saw against Liege our midfield couldnt even put their foot on the ball and get a bit of composure amongst them, the ball was more like a hot potatoe. Especially when under a bit of pressure and our defenders were playing hoof ball.
All that will suit Sunderland down to a Tee and they'll take note from that, husle our midfield and we'll play aimless long balls upto Torres and Keane. I'm sure being the big lanky fella Niall Quinn is, he'll have a word with Roy Keane about throwing a few long balls into our box, as we certainly look very vunrable from corners and set-pieces.
Unless Gerrard or Torres pull a rabbit out of the hat which in itself is still a worry that we have to rely on our two best players than as a team. I can see a 1-1 draw being the outcome of this one. Hope I'm wrong but that performance against Liege hasnt instilled me with much confidence for this match.
I also would like to see Gerrard start in the middle, probably in place of Plessis. Just to add creativity, composure and a bit more steel in this part of the field, and play Torres and Keane upfront together.

Yeah totally, I mean, sign a £20m striker and play him on the wing.
Play the best box to box midfielder in world football upfront, play astriker out wide aswell....
Great idea. Thankyou aren't the manager.

Looking forward to this one, not least because I've recently relocated to Sunderland with my job and have got tickets to the game. Unfortunately in the mackems end, but hey ho, I'll not wear colours and keep my head down. Anyone else going by the way? Will probably head out for a few beers before and after game.
I think we'll stick with the same team as tonight, except I have a feeling Gerrard will come in for Keane. Away game, first of the season, typical Benitez will want to keep it tight, so I reckon no Keane-Torres partnership for this one.
I still fancy us to do it though, 2-1 is my prediction.
