DM Jordan Henderson

Fernandinho nearly got the nod. But, I’d take Henderson in a big game situation despite what his form has been since he returned from injury.

Henderson will lead the Reds at Wembley, he’ll be a player looked to for inspiration, he’ll set the tone.

The captain has said that he doesn’t care how others perceive his captaincy, whatever they’re saying. He doesn’t care if he’d be the first to lift the trophy. All he cares about is winning that trophy.
