Firstly, Tyrone Mings has to change his shirt after Dan Burn took a section out of his last one at a corner.
We think a fan maybe having a medical emergency in the ground.

Apologies Newcastle fans.

He will have to have some motivating words to turn this one around in the second half.
Gerrard will be wanting to see his team get his little Brazilian magician involved more.
Burnley fans will be hoping their team stop shooting like stormtroopers in the second half.
May the force be with them all.
