LIVERTON

In goal, I'd go for Reina. He's been in exceptional form this season, and rarely drops a clanger these days (touch wood).
Howard is having a great year, but I think the Spaniard just edges him.
At the back, there's some difficult choices to be made.
An easy first selection is Joleon Lescott at left back. Riise has been out of touch for some time now and Lescott's goalscoring knack is pretty incredible for a defender.
Watching that horse-style gallop up and down the touchline would be unnerving for his opposing full back too.
Nobody in their right mind would pick Hibbert, so it's Finnan at right back, even though his powers seem slightly on the wane, he's Mr Reliable.
Centre halves is where it gets tricky.
Two from Carragher, Agger, Yobo and Jagielka.
Carragher is a must, great organisation, leadership, desire and positional sense.
A lot of Blues really rate Yobo, but he does have the odd howler up his sleeve.
On current form, Jagielka would get the nod as he seems to be playing out of his skin at the moment and found his true position.
Agger has been forever out with injury this season, so assessing how he's playing is a guessing game.
But prior to his absence, he showed signs of being a mainstay of the Reds defence for years, so I go for the Dane.

Onto midfield, there's some obvious picks.
Gerrard in central midfield, and the team's captain.
Mascherano alongside him, sitting in front of the defence, destroying all before him.
The class of Arteta slots into right midfield, one of the most underrated platers in the Premiership.
He'd be taking the free-kicks, although there'd be no place in this Liverton outfit for any of that poncy throwing himself on the floor at the slightest touch.
The left midfield berth is the most tricky.
Pennant comes into my mind, but his flashes are too brief and he needs to find consistency.
Blues are constantly talking up Pienaar recently, and he goes close, but his Will O' The Wisp style is frustrating.
Osman gets picked as he's tenacious, skilful, a hard worker and weighs in with a fair share of goals.
Strikers, its a no brainer. Torres would wear the number nine jersey. I predict at least 30 Prem goals from him when the supply line to him is this good.
Joining him is Yakubu. I think the two could strike up a decent understanding.
His work-rate would be strictly monitored by Opta stats, and any hint of laziness would see Cahill take his place, just behind Torres.
On the bench, the pint-sized Aussie is primed and ready to come on at half-time if things aren't going well.
Some may be surprised he's not first choice, but he suffers from not being a natural centre-mid and his annoying boxer-style punching the corner flag celebration.
And you can't not pick Gerrard or Masch.
Piennar, Pennant, Jagielka, Crouch and Benayoun boast a bench full of attacking options.
Rafa is in charge, with Moyes as his able assistant.
Namewise, with a choice between Liverton and Everpool?
It's Liverton every time.
There you have it, a match for current leaders Arsenal, I believe.
Discuss.
