Midfield
There is no doubt that is Liverpool want to get anything from the match they need to be a notch over their opponents in the centre of the park. The travelling Reds side need to take control in the middle of the pitch with Lucas and Henderson in the middle with Brazilian Phillipe Coutinho in a more advanced position. Joe Allen certainly needs to sit put of the Reds starting eleven if sanity prevails Rodgers’ mind. The key here of playing the 3-5-2 is to have a spare man at the back and crowd the Chelsea midfield and be quick on counter attacks.
