Do we go with the same team or change it up a bit?

I'd like to see Fabinho and sturridge start.

Rest one of the 3 in midfield and give Fabinho a go.

Firmino has been poor. So bad that i am saying we should start sturridge.

Maybe even Shaquiri for firmino and put Salah or Mane up top.

Either way i expect nothing more than a home win meaning it will end in a draw.

Must win game this or it's title challenge over.

Agree, we should win such games at home if we want to have any chance of winning the league.

hopefully a 2-0 win

its important that we get three points. one of our rivals WILL drop points and its imperative we take advantage

am hoping spurs and utd draw or failing that a utd lose

We are capable of beating every team. We will not beat every team. We along with others will drop points. It's how we react to it that counts.

I expect Brighton to park the bus so this would be a very good test for us. And yes it's critical we win to keep up the momentum city don't look like getting beat at the moment but I am confident they will have a bad patch football always throws up a situation you do not expect

I would be starting the same team but introduce Fabinho at some point to get some PL time under his belt. As for Firmino it is unfair to say that he has been poor. He is playing a lot deeper and if Keita is pushing forward he is staying back a bit. The Palace game especially he was making tackles from his deeper position when we lost possession in attacks as Palace tried to break forward.

Don't change a winning team if everyone is fit. There is no need to. Depending on circumstances in any game use the bench effectively and have those players ready to do a job. This is not the time to start messing about.

As for Chelsea and City getting straightforward wins well Chelsea have not won at Newcastle in their last 5 games there. City is a bit different but Wolves at home are going to give it a go and probably challenge City more than the opposition they have faced so far this season.

For our game I think that Chris Hughton has an unenviable record of conceding something like 4 or more in his last 4 games v Liverpool as a manager.

We need to win and win well if we want to keep the momentum going. A draw or defeat at home to Brighton would destroy our current momentum, so another home win is vital. I'd give Fabinho a run out here and also Sturridge (though Klopp probably won't) to give Firmino a break as he's not firing on all cylinders yet.

I get your sarcasm wilki but being able to beat brighton at home is standard fayre for a champion elect team.
It is indeed a must win..and will win ..game though.
Like I say first 4 games imperative to win..2 down 2 to go...

5 nil lfc.Brighton no match for lfc even if they beat man utd.
