It's game time folks and today we host Liverpool. Let's back the lads!

Here's Madge with the teams:

Our opponents today:

[Holmechapel]

How is it that the team sheet is being announced 75 mins before kick off instead of 60?

[Gordaleman]

New season, new rules. They always have to tinker.

4-3-3?

[LincsWoldsClaret]

A brave selection

[whiffa]

4-3-3?

It'll be 4-5-1 for us.

[Nonayforever]

I can't work that formation out yet.

[rosswallacefreekick]

A friend is a Liverpool fan… I’m dreading the outcome, but I’d love a draw. Thought we were excellent against United for large amounts of the game, and I hope that incredibly frustrating result (and the international break) doesn’t have a negative effect on what has been a promising start to the Premier League. UTC!

[Tall Paul]

New season, new rules. They always have to tinker.

Not new, they've been doing it for at least the last two seasons

[ElectroClaret]

Nowt to lick...

[ecc]

It'll be 4-5-1 for us.

I suppose so.

[Vino blanco]

Laurent???

[Vino blanco]

Laurent???

[ecc]

Laurent???

To defend only.

15 minutes for VAR to intervene if needed.

[burnmark]

Championship was definitely an hour prior to kick off last season. Was the Premier League 75 minutes? If so, I never knew that, not that I’d taken much notice.

----------------Foster--------------
Anthony -----Big Les -------Tchaouna
--------Cullen-------Laurent---------
--Pires---Esteve---Ekdal---Walker---
-------------Dubravka-------------

Is how I think we'll line up, with Big Les dropping back out of possession.

[dougcollins]

No Isak

[Tribesmen]

Afternoon all from a sunny 30c here in Rhodes .
Already and bring it on is what I say .

[mikeS]

No Isak.
Thought the £125 M man might have been at least on the bench!

[ollieclarets8]

Just put it on - see if we're mentioned.

[dougcollins]

I wish I was in Rhodes Town mate.

One of my favourite places on earth.

Are you on a time delay?

[expoultryboy]

Always worried when I see Laurent's name on the team sheet . Shuffles about in front of the back 4 , but never picks a man/runner up .

[JohnDearyMe]

Disappointed to see that the whiny little turd Robertson isn't starting for them.

[whiffa]

Are you on a time delay?

People were discussing our formation given our lineup? Not sure what you mean.

[warksclaret]

Laurent???

I had the right team except for Laurent v Luis. I guess like Spurs when Ugochukwu came on during the game, Parker wants to bring in Luis gradually. Good to see no Isaak

[ollieclarets8]

A brave selection

The sort of game where I think you can be brave.

[Murger]

No JBL. Weird.

[Bigvince]

Looking forward to Tchaouna getting a start

[SalouClaret]

People were discussing our formation given our lineup? Not sure what you mean.

Pires isn't playing.

[mkmel]

No Larsen.

Replace Laurent with Tino and IMO that would be our strongest starting 11.

That’s not the right team.

Yep a cool spot i must say , we have been here for 7 weeks . Had my Burnley shirt on today one one dude in that kind "who are you" said Burnley ......... I just turned around and said yes it is and walked away .

[ollieclarets8]

Half an hour into the 'preview' and the only thing we've been mentioned in is the starting 11. Can they not wait until this game is done before pleasuring themselves over the Manchester derby.

[willsclarets]

No Isak.
Thought the £125 M man might have been at least on the bench!

He's hardly kicked a ball for a long while. Plus it's not as if Liverpool are struggling to put the ball in the net!

Don't mind our side, poor Laurents going to get a bit of stick but I can see the rationale for him over Hannibal. And we've Tchaouna in the side for more of an attacking threat.

Got to make this a cup tie atmosphere and applaud every throw in like its a penno. Turf Moor has to be a horrible place for the top sides to come to. Fingers crossed we start that rep today

Yep, absolutely superb around the old town, some great bars and restaurants there.

Thinking of going to Ixia just up the road next year.

[derryclaret]

Afternoon all from a 30° Valencia, slipped into an Irish bar for the game, vamos muchachos!COYC!

Been to Greece and the thing I loved were the mini-island cruises they often have down on the prominade.

I went on one in Kos. 3 islands and you stop by each one for 2-3 hours before jumping back on the boat.

Good Man Derry

[jojomk1]

Really surprised to see Laurent starting

[ClaretLoup]

Well, Slot has paid us the compliment of fielding the same starting 11 as he did vs The Arsenal.

[ollieclarets8]

Nerves starting to set in now.

To be fair, Slot did mention the Burnley weather and how cold it felt.
