Pre-Crystal Palace Overnight Open Thread

1) Can you find any reason why the back four will not consist of Jon Flanagan, Mamadou Sakho, Martin Skrtel, and Glen Johnson? (Other than "Because it breaks Eliz's heart to see Daniel Agger on the bench" of course.)

2)  Who plays the deepest midfield role, Lucas Leiva or Steven Gerrard?

3) Where do Liverpool's remaining pocket-sized midfielders/wingers start the game?

4) Will Daniel Sturridge make an appearance from the bench?

5) Iago Aspas?

Bonus: Long before they were promoted, Crystal Palace were the one team I desperately wanted to see in the Premier League solely because they were called Crystal Palace. We've discussed this a bit before, but what's your favourite Very British Sounding football team?
