James Pearce: Balotelli is fit but I'd like to see Lambert keep his place after the shift he put in against QPR last weekend.

I'd play 3-4-3 at Stamford Bridge with Can, Skrtel and Lovren at the back. There's no room for Johnson.

My team would have Sterling and Ibe out wide with Gerrard and Henderson in the middle.

I'd then have Coutinho and Lallana operating just behind Lambert.

My team (3-4-3): Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Lovren, Sterling, Gerrard, Henderson, Ibe, Coutinho, Lallana, Lambert.

Neil Jones: Ah, the weekly bingo. To three or not to three (at the back)? That is the question.

Generally, that system worked OK in the two-legged League Cup semi final earlier in the season, but that was at a time when Liverpool were playing well. To return to it now would be a big ask, especially with Mamadou Sakho injured.

But can they afford to go into a game with Emre Can and Glen Johnson, or even Alberto Moreno, as full backs in a back four? Decisions, decisions.

Anyway, I'm going for the back three - Can, Skrtel, Lovren - with Jordon Ibe and Johnson as wing backs. Jordan Henderson and Lucas can look after the midfield, with Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana supporting Raheem Sterling, who goes back into that centre forward role.

My team: (3-4-2-1): Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Lovren, Ibe, Lucas, Henderson, Johnson, Lallana, Coutinho, Sterling

Kristian Walsh: It would appear Brendan Rodgers is sticking with the back four having adopted it for the past four league games. That, then, is what I shall go for with Alberto Moreno left back and Javi Manquillo right back.

Glen Johnson has been a solid hand during his time at Anfield but with his contract running out, there is no need for him to start. Dejan Lovren and Martin Skrtel make up the back four.

I'd try Emre Can in midfield alongside Jordan Henderson. I'd also give Steven Gerrard a chance to enjoy himself at the top end of the field once more, with Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana forming part of a narrow three.

Raheem Sterling gets the nod up front, though he's obviously been shifted out wide by the boss.

My team (4-3-3): Mignolet, Manquillo, Lovren, Skrtel, Moreno, Can, Henderson, Lallana, Coutinho, Gerrard, Sterling.

Ian Doyle: To be honest, it doesn't really matter what team Liverpool pick for Stamford Bridge. They just need to go out there and prove they actually still want to play for the club.

Balotelli is back but I'd sooner pick my dad up front and he's 75 (he once scored two goals against Brian Labone though, which he never EVER fails to mention).

Rodgers has never beaten Chelsea while in charge of Liverpool and to change that, I'd select a back three. Steven Gerrard has to play - there's no point in leaving him out now - and at least he'll be giving the home players daggers during the guard of honour.

My team (3-4-2-1): Mignolet; Can, Skrtel, Lovren; Ibe, Henderson, Allen, Johnson; Gerrard, Coutinho; Sterling.
