There's lots of background material to draw on for this match. There are 11 previous Picklive matches listed for Liverpool and 10 for Chelsea. Plus there's all my insight and critique on this here very blog.
I'm expecting a big turnout for the Big Game this afternoon and most probably a split pot. That's because the highest scorers tend to be the same for these two teams. Gerrard plus a full-back plus whoever's at the base of the midfield for Liverpool; Cole, Essien, Malouda and Mikel for Chelsea. At least Joe Cole and Essien are doubtful as it may make choosing slightly easier.
So it'll probably be a goal, assist, card or substitution that decides the winner. Players like Gerrard and Ashley Cole are rarely subbed in games like this so should be considered a safe bet. But then most people will probably be picking them so it might be worth trying someone else?
But who? Centre-backs often do well for these teams so it might be worth including one. Goalkeepers have had a mini-resurgence recently, not least with Ashdown for Portsmouth yesterday who was top-scorer in that match.
Tips: Gerrard, Lucas, Johnson, Ashley Cole and Mikel would normally be my tip but I'll tweaking that to try and find an edge on what will be a tight Big Game.
Good luck!
