Two clubs in the bottom half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Liverpool and Stoke City. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool and can be live streamed here free.
What They're Saying
Liverpool center-back Kolo Toure (via ESPN FC): "Like Arsene [Wenger], he's [Brendan Rodgers] always there at training trying to improve things. His style of play is also similar. He always wants us to pass the ball and keep playing which is very important."
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes (via the Daily Mail): 'We're looking forward to them. 'The big teams are always the test, but we're playing well, despite last week's defeat to Burnley when we didn't play poorly, we just made mistakes, which can happen."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Liverpool's Jordan Henderson has one goal and three assists in 11 league appearances. Carrying a heavier defensive responsibility, the 24-year-old is averaging three tackles.
Liverpool's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Mignolet; Johnson, Lovren, Skrtel, Manquillo; Henderson, Gerrard; Coutinho, Sterling, Lallana; Lambert
Stoke City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Begovic; Pieters, Cameron; Shawcross, Bardsley; N'Zonzi, Sidwell; Arnautovic, Bojan, Walters; Diouf
