Liverpool will be looking to end what at one stage recently seemed an unimaginably poor run of form at Anfield on Thursday when they entertain Chelsea.
Having gone so long without tasting defeat in the Premier League at the L4 fortress, the Reds are now looking to avoid five straight defeats at home.
Many Kopites, who unfortunately can’t be in attendance to roar Jurgen Klopp‘s side on, have called for no-nonsense central defender Nathaniel Phillips to start.
The 23-year-old has been called upon at regular intervals this term as Liverpool suffer a preposterous amount of defensive injuries, and some Reds have seen enough to warrant a start in what will be a pivotal clash in the race for the top four.
Phillips’ place in the side is made all the more complicated with the return of Fabinho who could slot in alongside Ozan Kabak or move into his customary midfield berth.
These Kopites at least want to see Phillips retain his place…
Twitter: @TheAnfieldTalk Easy. Should be on paper for the remainder of the season until Virg/Matip/Gomez return https://t.co/iZJIlJqE0A (@LFCDGSx)
Twitter: @TheAnfieldTalk 100%.Even if Fab starts it’s for Kabak (@LFCMaxs)
Twitter: @TheAnfieldTalk If you were picking players on merit which is what they used to do his name would be 2nd on the teamsheet. (@ciarano44)
Twitter: @TheAnfieldTalk Yeah, been brilliant for the games he has played.

Twitter: @TheAnfieldTalk Absolutely!! Phillips and Kabak had both really decent games against Sheff U. I’d play the same team. (@Shane00532260)
