Gearing up for the big match- defensive breakdowns

So, everyone knows that both liverpool and our Eagles have outstanding offensive collectives. The big question in this match, at least for me is- which teams defense is in better shape and form right now? Of course, if we could retain Sakho in the squad for this match I'd say that we'd be way better off than them defensibly with all the injuries to the center halves. I'm at a loss as far as comparing a 3rd or 4th match CB like Kelly and a just-returning from injury Tomkins vs. an injury riddled and at sometimes fragile Liverpool defense/Keeper. Both Mingolet and Hennessey are capable of producing dreadful or brilliant performances. Thoughts?

I would like to think our defensive performances of late it not just down mainly to Sakho but also down to the coaching of Sam A. & Sammy L.

This match is very interesting for Sam A to see how well the defence plays and what still has to be done. Our marking, discipline, working together in defence and working with our midfielders & attackers.

Find out what team is in which division, eg which division is Coppull United in?

Yes, but the combination of no Sakho + Dann's injury means there's no room for error or further injuries at all during this match
