Thursday, 8PM, no TV.

Win here and there's a chance Chelsea could finish outside the top four. Not much of a chance though, as they play Watford on the final day.

Same 11. Let’s go out and try and score a few and hope it’s enough to better or equal the goal(s) we concede from a corner.

Not any more there isn't. They will however want to finish third so expect they'll go hard.

That’s a really interesting stat and it would be very apt for it have happened first in this era. And that doesn’t even include our title winning season.

Didn’t even happen in the 60s with that great side.

We’ve progressed as a club.

Rodgers to be properly questioned about this!

He hasn't got time for questions, he's busy doing something else. Probably teaching them how to play water polo.
