Presumably this then for Liverpool on 19:42 - Aug 14 with 637 views | Ginja | Curious as to why no one has Burgess in their teams as the central CB with 5 at the back? Would have thought his strength in the air would have been useful against Nunez and Liverpool's set piece quality. Is the feeling Woolfie offers more composure with us still playing out from the back? |  | |  |

Yes, that's my thought. Love Burgess and wouldn't have any concerns if he plays, but Woolfy on the ball in a three gives an additional passing angle and helps us to bait Liverpool's press. Not that it will need much baiting I guess, but I could see Woolfy stepping forward a little and Axel/Muric/Greaves having both Morsy and Woolfy to find beyond their striker possibly - three passers to two receivers gives a lot of angles to block. |  |

Spot on. Johnson was playing the Burns position on Saturday. I’d be shocked if he was picked in that position Saturday. Burns starts for me all day long. I would agree with the op line up and my guess is Wolfe starts with Axel on the bench. |  | |  |
