TEAM NEWS from Benitez's PC: No Cahill (virus) and Azpilicueta (leg discomfort) for this game. Everyone else is available barring Romeu who is injured of course.

Thanks for that.

I will post up some pictures if I get to meet them later today.

Two stats...

1. The last time Benitez went to the Riverside Stadium, his Liverpool side suffered a 2-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in 08/09 PL season.

2. Rafa Benitez has never beaten Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium in 5 visits - D3 L2.

Boro down to bare bones for tomorrow´s clash.

Three players are ineligible & 5 more are injured.

Why can Chelsea just field some reserves here & rest players for PL ?

Because doing that, would actually give experience and help the senior players, and the problem with that, is that would actually benefit the club, and obviously Rafa isn't going with that.

You forgot to mention that those 2 games were at home and we were then under RDM, who played attacking football. Now under Benitez, he's more concern of not losing first than trying to go out and win games from the start.

And that equates to us having to lose against Boro because we have no chance against utd?!

Why would the seniors have problems with it ?

May I point out to today´s news ?

Players are playing in too many games, was written.

I don't think we're favorites to beat utd either, but my original point is that we should not just forfeit the match!

Yes but just saying that with Benitez's negative approach, our chance of winning there is extremely low and sometimes, you just can't help but to wonder, why even bother with it?

Why bother? For the same reason we bothered against Napoli, Barcelona and Munich last season..
