West Brom v Everton. 20th Jan at 20.00.

[PaddyG]

Brendan Rodgers has warned Everton boss Roberto Martinez to expect a very different Liverpool side in next week's Merseyside derby compared to the one that struggled against Aston Villa.

Martinez was in the stands at Anfield on Saturday as the Reds produced a faltering first-half performance against Villa.

Rodgers' side trailed 2-0 after 36 minutes, but fought back and grabbed a draw through goals from Daniel Sturridge and Steven Gerrard.

Despite the lacklustre showing, Rodgers said: "(Martinez) will know how I work and knows how my teams work.

"But he will know it will be a totally different game here for the derby.

"It wasn't one of our better days (against Villa), but we've had many great games here."

With Liverpool welcoming Everton to Anfield on Tuesday, January 28, Rodgers added: "We'll be ready for the derby game for sure."

I think Brenda sounds a tad scared...b)

He's badly flapping.

We've got two games to win first, then we'll smash them.

Won't be an easy game tonight imo

Scrappy 2-1

Looks like Anelka will start tonight. West Broms sponsors have just announced they will cease sponsoring them at the end of this season.

For once I share your lack of confidence.

Great read as ever. After a Friday beer after work, Sunday morning trip to the countryside with the kids, Saturday night out, mid-morning trip to the loo (x7) and random bedroom shenanigans (x2.5) your previews are officially the 14.5th best thing in my week.

Your weekend sounded great. WBA 0 LUKAKU 10

Do we ever turn up and make I easy?

Can see there lot being up for it with the new manager and us having to dig in a bit early doors

A 1-0 win with a dodgy pen would do

I really don't want it to be a nervy affair where we drag it back to 2-1 at some point, but that's what I'm thinking. I'm expecting stressful but ultimately successful. Just.

I have a feeling Baines will score a freekick today.

WBA's shirt sponsor Zoopla has just announced its pulling out of their sponsorship deal with them over Anelka doing that anti-Semitic gesture the other week and WBA continuing to play him.

The guy who owns Zoopla is Jewish and was highly offended by it.

For any blues attending tonight please wrap up warm as it's rather chilly here. I highly recommend a blanket and a flask of tea.

Also, feel free to say hello to me. I'll be the lone skinhead in all black with a blanket and flask

Not surprised, they were warned by Zoopla to take action, thing is they will probably get another sponser no problem.

Gonna be a tough one this. I fear we're gonna slug out a hard draw, pulling levek in the last 10 minutes, like. If we win though, we'll be 4th and United will take the classic Everton 7th spot with 6 points up to 6th.

Zoopla: what's to stop them insisting they cover up their logo on the WBA shirt? If they feel that strongly about it that's what they should do. It looks a bit hollow if they dont, especially in light of the fact their contract with the club ends in a few months.

I'm not sure. They could get a new manager boost; but they're getting a different style of manager, and if they've been training all week in a new way they could end up falling between two stools not having time to master the new man's instructions.

I hope your right mate. It's a potential banana skin, but I think they won't be ready and we'll get the win tonight.
