Sakho’s been doing charity work in Liverpool all week, and we can only hope it inspires him to put in another towering performance!
DC) Martin Skrtel
Selhurst Park will evoke some pretty horrible memories for Martin Skrtel. He played a role in the defensive blunders that saw our title chances ruined last season – but he’ll need to put that behind him if he wants us to progress into the quarters.
