Pre-Sunderland Overnight Open Thread

1) Dejan Lovren or Kolo Toure?

2) Will Steven Gerrard be rested ahead of an important Champions League match against Basel, or will he get the start against Sunderland?

3) Will we ever see Adam Lallana and Philippe Coutinho in the same midfield again?

4) Will Fabio Borini return from the abyss to start against the club Brendan Rodgers probably still hopes wants to buy the Italian striker?

5) Final score?

Bonus: There are many popular faith and/or cultural traditions that are experiencing festive celebrations over the course of the month. Celebrations usually involve food, so share with your fellow TLOers your favourite festive recipe. (Bonus points if it's something I can make for my cookie exchange at work on December 18.)
