The blueprint for Brendan Rodgers' successful Liverpool side in 2013/14 is being used by a few teams that are surprising the Premier League this season. Two mobile strikers who combine pace and power.

"A Jedi Knight? Jeez, I'm out of it for a little while, everyone gets delusions of grandeur!"
Deal with it Han Solo, he’s definitely a Jedi!
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, Everton thought they were striking back. They almost did. They had the 1984/85 season where they amassed 90 points and...
