5 minutes to go until kickoff! Liverpool vs Sunderland! We have a pretty strong lineup and it's been a real long time since I've looked at the bench and smiled.
Starting XI: Reina, Flannagan, Carra, Agger, Enrique, Henderson, Adam, Lucas, Downing, Suarez, Carroll
Subs: Doni, Meireles, Kuyt, Spearing, Ngog, Kelly, Robinson.
If we lose with a squad like that then there's something seriously wrong.
I'd have liked Aquilani to get a start though. And Suárez just came back from the Copa America, so I'm surprised he has started ahead of Kuyt, who hasn't had a tournament this summer. I'm guessing Kenny wants to use this to warm him up as well as get a win on the season opener.
Nevertheless I have full confidence in Liverpool to get a win today. Sunderland have done some spending as well though, but I don't think they'll trouble us too much.
