The coming match of the week, Liverpool vs Chelsea is anticipated by many fans of both side. In midweek Europa Cup, Gerrard scored a hat-trick to help salvage Liverpool from an embarassing defeat to Napoli at Anfield. All three goals scored by Stevie G came in the final 15 minutes, including a penalty.

| Hat-trick hero against Napoli. Liverpool won 3 - 1 |
Torres was rested in the match against Napoli to keep him fresh for the match against Chelsea this weekend. Steven Gerrard came out from the bench on 46th minute to replace Milan Jovanovic and scored a hat-trick.
His last hat-trick was against Aston Villa two seasons ago when Liverpool thrashed Aston Villa 5-0 at Anfield during Benitez' tenure. Glen Johnson returned from injury that might boost Liverpool's offences from the right flank.

Frank Lampard might feature this weekend for Chelsea but Malouda definitely will be out. It will be a dilemma for FPL managers; to keep him or to cash him for other players that are on-form too, such as Van Der Vaart.
Other major injuries doubts and question marks:
Arsenal vs Newcastle - Will Fabregas features? That's really 50-50. As Wilshere returns from suspension, Wenger has a lot choices to choose from; Song who is on-form, Arshavin, Rosicky, Denilson, Diaby, Nasri and Walcott.Who will he start? If Fabregas does feature, he is definitely my captain's pick. Chamakh is the only stable pick as he will definitely start the game.
ManUtd vs Wolves - Nani definitely will be out for sure. But since Giggs, Valencia and Fletcher are out injured as well, that narrows down Ferguson's choices of midfielders. Will it be Park Ji Sung and Obertan playing on both flanks? Or will he convert Anderson to left midfield and play Carrick and Scholes in center midfield? Gibson has a chance to start the game too. Awh.. too many uncertainties.
West Brom vs ManCity - ManCity's mega million squad suffered another embarassing 3-1 defeat to Lech Poznan. Anyway they need to move on and concentrate on this weekend's match against West Brom. West Brom is playing well this season and has already shrugged off the relegation candidate's tag. But will Tevez be featuring in this game like Mancini said? If he plays, he is definitely a good pick. Silva and Milner are the one to watch too. If ManCity stumble again at West Brom, Mancini will be in deep shit be in REAL DEEP SHIT!
Bolton vs Tottenham - Van Der Vaart is a hot property now. But he limped off in the victory against Inter Milan on Tuesday night. He is doubtful for this coming match at the Reebok Stadium. But he has an outside chance to be playing too. Will he play? Who knows? Will Bale play? Or will he be rested after the superb performance against Inter Milan? Among Keane, Crouch and Pavluychenko, who will start the game? It's all question marks. Ask Harry Redknapp.
