Slav settles on Liverpool pairing

|

james-collins-435648James Collins and Angelo Ogbonna are set to again form the central defensive partnership for the Irons when Liverpool come visiting tomorrow.

Despite Winston Reid having recovered from injury, the manager will risk neither him or Victor Moses as the Irons go for an incredible double over the Reds.

We have not managed such a phenomenal achievement since the ’63/’64 season when Liverpool won the Title and we ‘doubled’ them and won the FA Cup.

Tomorrow the Irons look set to stick with the team which battled back so bravely in the second half against Southampton with Andy Carroll ready to lead the line from the start.

Manu Lanzini is also set to start and both Reid and Moses are booked to make their returns against Wolves in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.

Carl Jenkinson is likely to be included on the bench as the manager attempts to help his recovery from a loss of confidence after an entirely unconvincing start to the season.

    If Cresswell does not make it Reid is left footed and has played there before,
    Jenkinson needs at least 2 months to regain his form but that might be pushing it,never mind he can go back Wenger can give him another pay rise and he can play for Hippo in the championship next season,
