Paul Lambert has overseen three wins at Liverpool in his managerial career, the most recent with Wolves in the FA Cup last season, but now must accomplish what no other Stoke manager in history has done to bring hope to the club’s relegation fight. Stoke have never won a top flight league game at Anfield and Jürgen Klopp’s side are unbeaten at home in the Premier League this season. The Liverpool manager must rotate before next week’s second leg against Roma and the visitors simply have to capitalise with only three matches of their season remaining. Andy Hunter
