After picking up 6 points on the road this season, the Reds are chasing their third successive win. Can they keep their perfect record and pick up another 3 points on the road?

I guess we'll see another game of two halves, with two completely different teams - but that has to finish soon, surely? Also, very interested to see if we can actually defend properly for once. I'm expecting us to let in a goal or three, just to underline the fact that the biggest issues we have to resolve this transfer window have always been LB and CB...

However, I'd like to see us start with a first choice backline (or as close to it as we'll get), so that those we have have a chance to gel before the season starts.

Looking forward to seeing Downing, Henderson and Doni play, though I have a friend coming to visit and I think I might end up missing the game completely. So plenty of commentary lads!

Hopefully we'll get to see Downing and Henderson in action.  And Doni. :)

I couldn't care less about Doni if I'm honest, its Downing, Henderson and Adam who I want to see.

I thiink we'll concede the single goal, Carroll will get two and underline who Downing will be a vital cog in the wheel next season. Looking forward to it :)

"I'm not sure what the ruling will be in terms of the number of subs we can use. But we will certainly use up our full quota and field as many as possible."

Thats a quote from Kenny - so if we can see two different teams, we will

Makes sense.  Get as many players on the pitch until the final two friendlies, sort of narrow things down.  I'd like to see Ayala get some decent time in as opposed to the Greek showing us what he can't do.

not convinced by that attack line up tho its not the most important thing today I guess.

Admittedly I thought the same regarding our attack in the second half of the last game and look how that went :D
