Liverpool hero Lawro says Kuyt must start against Chelsea

Liverpool hero Mark Lawrenson says Kenny Dalglish should start Dirk Kuyt in the game against Chelsea.

Lawro wrote in the Liverpool Daily Post: "Two draws against the promoted teams in recent weeks have been strange given that the side have created a lot of chances.

"But ahead of Sunday's trip to Chelsea, it will be interesting to see if Andy Carroll starts for Liverpool. I wonder if Kenny Dalglish may opt to stick Dirk Kuyt and Craig Bellamy in there instead just off Luis Suarez.

"I would be inclined to start Kuyt on the basis that if it does not work then he can bring Carroll on for the final 20 minutes.

"It's great for the manager to have two or three different options but I feel against Chelsea, John Terry will give as good as he gets against Carroll.

"So Liverpool may be wise not to start him."
