Liverpool vs Stoke - 5 Key Battles

4. Marc Muniesa Vs. Joe Allen

It is clear that Muniesa will want to impress. It will be his first start in the Premier League since his free transfer from Barcelona, so he'll want to prove to the world that he wasn't in the all-conquering Catalan squad for nothing. He will come up against Joe Allen, who needs to impress. With the likes of Jordan Henderson also vying for game time, Allen will need to step up his game and win over his passion for the Reds manager. Both want to impress, and if Muniesa can't get a hold on the Welshman early on, The Potters might just be in for a torrid time.
