What They're Saying
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (via BBC): The kid [Raheem Sterling], for some reason, seems to be getting a lot of stick off a lot of people for something. He is not an out-and-out striker, but his speed in front of the back four and behind them causes problems. He can get it, turn and go at defenders. He was outstanding. In that role, you think of Alexis Sanchez when he plays for Arsenal."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via the Express): "There's a slight chance of [Nacho] Monreal being available and a very slight chance for [Theo] Walcott. He is back in training today, but only today. I might take him. I don't know yet until he's back to full training. Let's see."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Liverpool's Lazar Markovic played an integral part in the club's League Cup victory over Bournemouth on Wednesday. In 417 minutes of play, the 20-year-old has one goal and an average of 1.3 take-ons.
