Welcome! Here we have two of the most disappointing teams of the season meeting on a random Tuesday night in April. One’s just sacked a manager for the second time this season, the other have a long-term manager who’s wondering how he’s still in the job.

Should be fun...?

Interim bossman Bruno has picked a somewhat sensible lineup at first glance, so that’s a good first step. N’Golo Kanté makes his first start since August in what looks like a perfect midfield on paper. Not sure why Badiashile keeps being benched though. And Wes is back, too! (Plus Mendy and Sterling on the bench!)

Virgil van Dijk misses out for a well rotated Liverpool through illness.

Here we go!
