Charlie Malam: Chelsea may already have the title wrapped up, but Jose Mourinho will not fancy risking his favourable record over former apprentice Brendan Rodgers any time soon.

There's been plenty of suggestions that Chelsea may go a little weaker, in which the likes of Petr Cech and Filipe Luis could come in - so they won't be too much weaker at all, and the Reds need to approach the game as any other - because a win at Stamford Bridge, with Manchester United yet to play Arsenal, could really ignite some hope in the top-four race.

It goes without saying that Simon Mignolet should take up the spot between the sticks, having been in inspired form since Christmas as he puts up a good fight for the Golden Glove Award. In front of him, I'd switch back to a back three.

For the most part, that defensive set-up worked well against the Blues in the Capital One Cup a few months ago. If we were to play a back-four, which would likely see Emre Can fielded as a full-back, Rodgers and co. would be setting themselves up to fail. The German had a miserable enough evening against Eden Hazard last time out and if the PFA Player of the Year plays on Sunday - the Reds need to set up to try and limit his exploits. Alongside Emre Can, without Mamadou Sakho - I'd have Martin Skrtel centrally and Dejan Lovren on the left. 

On the flanks, even though Alberto Moreno has had an inconsistent first year on Merseyside - he remains our best-equipped left-back, especially when asked to get forward. Jon Flanagan will be out until what is likely to be 2016 and Jose Enrique is nowhere near good enough. On the right, I'd like to see Jordon Ibe testing whoever it is that Chelsea play down the left. It will likely be Luis, who similarly likes to get forward, and if the English youngster can show the sort of pace and direct running he has become known for when on top-form, Ibe could make it a difficult afternoon for the ex-Atletico man.

In the centre of midfield - it's likely that Gerrard will play, but I don't think I'd be the only to suggest that it would be more beneficial if he didn't. The 34-year-old showed his match-winning abilities against QPR last weekend, but up against the likes of Nemanja Matic (again, should he play) - Gerrard is likely to be played off the park. On the whole, the Reds are a lot more fluid across the pitch without the captain - regardless of the obvious qualities he brings to the side and defensively, at a place like Chelsea, Lucas Leiva would be much more effective in a midfield pivot with Jordan Henderson.

It's harsh to drop Joe Allen, who has had some decent performances in recent weeks, but Lucas is easily the most capable defensive midfielder in the Reds' team and with the likes of Oscar, Hazard and Willian to potentially deal with - the Brazilian would be the best bet if Liverpool are to come away with anything. Whilst Henderson is the best partner to play with Lucas, particularly after how good he was against QPR last Saturday.

Further forward, though Gerrard could come into the side as an attacking midifelder - as some will suggest Rodgers does so - a front-three of Adam Lallana, Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling up-front is the most efficient if Liverpool are to press the visitors and get in behind them with pace.

Whilst Lambert impressed against QPR, playing away to Chelsea is a different proposition and if the Reds are to nick a surprise win - they will need to be at their very best as a unit.

Charlie's team (3-4-3): Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Lovren, Ibe, Lucas, Henderson, Moreno, Coutinho, Lallana, Sterling. 

Ollie Emmerson: Manchester United's loss to West Brom last weekend and potentially tough fixture list, has given Liverpool a glimmer of hope in their final push for a top four place. Due to this, I'd suggest that a positive approach is needed in order to get three points at the most unlikely of places, Stamford Bridge.

Jose Mourinho's indication that he may give youth a chance at last, due to his side having already won the league, could give Liverpool half a chance at beating the Champions. Simon Mignolet plays in goal, whilst I pick Glen Johnson at right back as the only other viable option is Javier Manquillo, and he's bound to be short of match fitness having not played in months.

Chelsea aren't likely to field a tough strikeforce due to main frontman Diego Costa being injured, giving me confidence in allowing Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren at centre back.

Moving into midfield, I would plump for a 4-3-3 formation, with Lucas Leiva starting in defensive midfield. This would allow the two central players ahead of him, Jordan Henderson and Emre Can, to support attacks. On the left I would pick Raheem Sterling as he seeks to get his form back, whilst I would go for Jordon Ibe on the right as hopefully the winger will have regained enough fitness to play a key part, after a couple of poor performances following his return from injury.

As the central striker, I would select Philippe Coutinho, playing him in the false nine role he excelled in against Newcastle last month. Coutinho's excellent movement makes it very difficult to mark him in this position, and could prove useful as he looks to be Liverpool's match-winner yet again.

Ollie's team (4-3-3): Mignolet, Johnson, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Henderson, Sterling, Ibe, Coutinho.

Calum Paton: Liverpool have been finding results difficult to come by in previous weeks, and this Sunday's trip to the newly-crowned Champions of England will likely be their toughest test in what has been a disappointing season. Last Saturday's narrow win at home to QPR is far from the momentum that Jose Mourinho's side come into the clash with, but Brendan Rodgers will be hopeful that his side can overcome Chelsea at the Bridge.

Liverpool have faced the Blues three times already this season, and there have been a lot of lessons learned from these games that Rodgers should look at when making his team selection. The 1st of these comes in the defence. In recent weeks Rodgers has opted to play a back-four, but despite winning last week, it has looked quite unbalanced at times. Emre Can has been operating at right back in this back-four, however, when Mourinho's men visited Anfield in the Capital One Cup Semi-Final in January, Can really struggled with the threat of PFA Player Of The Year Eden Hazard on that side of the pitch. Can was playing as part of a back-three in that game, and I do in fact want Liverpool to return to this shape on Sunday, but they cannot leave Can exposed against Hazard like they did at Anfield. Lazar Markovic played in the right wing back role in front of Emre that night, and offered little to no support for the German. Beside Can, Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren deserve to keep their places in the team, both starting to look more comfortable next to each other as every game goes by.

In the wing back roles, like already mentioned, Liverpool need to protect their centre backs better than in previous meetings with big sides. For this reason I would select two natural full backs to play here as opposed to having a winger struggle with defensive duties. Glen Johnson is still struggling to offer much when on the pitch for Liverpool, but we only have to put up with less than month of him so he will have to do on the right flank. Alberto Moreno has now got a whole weeks training under his belt too so should be fine to come back in and operate on the left. 

In the middle of the park, Steven Gerrard is probably going to keep his place, however I wouldn't pick the skipper to start with. Gerrard clinched the winning goal against QPR last weekend but once again produced a fairly poor all round performance. Jordan Henderson's dynamic style of play will be important to ensure that Cesc Fabregas isn't allowed time on the ball to control the game, as well as to make runs beyond the forwards, offering options further up the field. It is then between Joe Allen and Lucas Leiva to take up the other central spot, and I would really like to see Lucas back in the team. The Brazilian has been unfortunate with injuries throughout his Liverpool career - which could be coming to an end this summer - but the midfielder offers a lot when he is available for selection. Closing down and breaking up play are big parts of Lucas' game and will be required to stop Chelsea's attacking threats. 

The front three is always difficult to pick, especially given the lack of form from all of Liverpool's natural strikers. In the Reds' two League Cup meetings with Chelsea this season, The Reds have started with Raheem Sterling leading the line. In both games Sterling was able to get in behind Chelsea's defence, create chances and also score in the 1st leg.

If Liverpool try to play with Rickie Lambert up top like last week then they will be forced to play the ball long and this would suit Chelsea and in particular John Terry. Around Sterling you obviously must have Philippe Coutinho, The little magician is a dead certain to start every week given the form that he has been in. Adam Lallana put in a good showing against QPR on Saturday, however I don't see him suiting Sunday's game given that Liverpool are likely to spend a lot of the game without the ball. Lallana is a terrific player when Liverpool are in possession of the ball, but I think that the pace and direct style of Jordon Ibe is better suited to the counter-attacking style of play that Liverpool will need to adopt in order to defeat Chelsea. Although this may seem a defensive side, Liverpool do have to respect Chelsea.

The Blues have been by far the best team in the league this season and will pose a big threat to Liverpool this weekend, so this side is set up to try and soke up all the pressure that Chelsea will pile on, and try to catch it on the counter with an abundance of flair and speed in the attacking trio.

Calum's team (3-4-2-1): Mignolet, Can, Lovren, Skrtel, Johnson, Henderson, Lucas, Moreno, Coutinho, Ibe, Sterling.

Mosope Ominiyi: A narrow 2-1 victory at the expense of Queen's Park Rangers last time out will not fill the Reds with a lot of confidence going into the trip to west London against the newly-crowned Premier League champions, with their top four aspirations hanging by an extremely tight thread ahead of kick-off on Sunday afternoon.

If they are going to have any chance of winning the match at Stamford Bridge, they must start quickly, hit the hosts on the counter attack and most importantly, field the right players in the correct positions.

With Sturridge out indefinitely, Liverpool continue to soldier on without a real recognised striker up-top. Sterling and Ibe's frightening pace between them will worry Chelsea's defence, no matter how solid they've been this season.

I've chosen Manquillo over Johnson, but I have a feeling the latter will start the game due to his Premier League experience and the physical nature of the match itself.

The young Spaniard deserves to start matches, otherwise what is the point of the loan from Atlético in the first place? If you are not given the opportunity to prove your quality, what's the point then?

Can should be deployed in a midfield role alongside Henderson and Lucas, in order to pack the centre of the pitch and shut out the threat that Fábregas poses, as well as nullifying any effect Matic would then consequently have in the game by teaming up on the big Serbian. 

Moreno's lung-busting runs on the overlap as well as Manquillo's attacking threat (if the latter is played) are two things Chelsea may have not done their homework on, so Rodgers needs to establish that from the offset and go out with a clear game-plan.

Lovren has been solid over the past month or so, and with Martin Skrtel alongside him, the two should have a decent game together in the Liverpool backline

I would not be surprised to see a more youthful, or even a weaker Chelsea side fielded, but it should not faze the Reds. Otherwise, they may under-estimate their opposition, to devastating effect.

Mosope's team (4-3-1-2): Mignolet; Moreno, Lovren, Sakho, Manquillo, Can, Henderson, Lucas, Coutinho, Sterling, Ibe.
