Don't think I'd start Lucas for this, after a decent half against West Ham. Rodgers stated Allen was supposed to start prior to the WH game and I'd have him (Allen) ahead of Lucas for the Citeh game too. I don't (sincerely) believe Lucas looked that comfortable on the right hand side of the diamond, even though he coped. As we're constantly reminded: Lucas, his position and his abilities are very "specialised" for the DM role which suits him and the team better. I think Allen, will slot in more naturally there and give the team more fluency, plus he has the mobility to press and engage the opposition for long periods.
The team have been rolling for a while now with a preferably and stable eleven; one of the things I think has been key to our success recently.
Take the game to them - it's what we do best, use the players who are on form and have got us to where we are, let them worry about us.

---------- Johnson-----Skertel----Sahko------Flanno

------------------ Sturridge-------Suarez
OR
-------------------- Mig
----Johnson---Skertel--Sahko---Flanno
Gerrard
Henderson Allen
Sterling
Sturridge-----Suarez
I'd probably opt for the second team in all honesty.
Agger/Sahko - that's a tricky one to. I've picked Sahko merely because I know he's currently available and was able to put in a beast of a performance, however, an opposition like Citeh may suit Agger's game to.
