Attacking lineups.. is Lucas still with you?

At the mo yes.

Think the best way to defend against spurs will be to keep them busy at the other end.

Henderson will put in a shift tracking back as well as attacking, and so long as Markovic has the same work ethic we'll be solid enough.

I think he said him and Balotelli would feature.

Whether that just means a squad place, coming on as a sub or actually starting is anybody's guess.

*Enrique if Moreno isn't fit. Can't see who else could go left back other than Sakho with Toure/Coates at centre back. This is assume Johnson and Skrtel aren't fit.

Would like to see Lallana, Coutinho and Balotelli come on if we need attacking options.

We've got a lot if choice in terms of midfield energy now alongside Hendo. Any one of Lallana / Allen / Can / Coutinho.

At the moment I see Markovic as someone who will play further forward as opposed to either side in midfield.

I think Allen will feature, my guess would be:

Mig
Manquillo Skrtel Lovren Moreno
Gerrard
Henderson Allen
Sterling
Sturridge Balotelli

Sakho for Skrtel if he doesn't make it.

Unfortunately Brendan seems to have a blind spot where Johnson is concerned. I know we'd all like to see Manquillo-Moreno or Manquillo-Enrique but in all likelihood it'll be Johnson at full-back.

It will be the same as City, injuries permitting. I doubt Balotelli and Lallana will be thrown in straight away, both come in the more likely scenario.

OP, switch Lallana and Hendo around so Lallana is on the LCM and Hendo on the right. Otherwise I am with you.

Johnson won't be fit for Spurs, nor Moreno or Skrtl I think. That's why I chose a back four with 3 changes

I don't think Balotelli will start, he's only had a couple of 45 minute appearances in Serie A I'm not sure he's fit enough for over that in the Premier League.

Moreno that is.

I'd go for the same team vs City if everyone is fit.
