Maybe this is a bit premature as the Watford points not yet in the bag but I’m worried that we will be exposed next week when we go to the Etihad.

We have the third best defence in the league but against the better teams like Chelsea we were very lucky to get away without losing. City have a very strong attack and I fear they going to love our high line.

Also, despite having scored more goals than anybody else we seem to need a lot of chances to get the ball in the back of the net. The City defence won’t allow us too many opportunities and we will need to be more clinical in front of goal to get on the score a
Sheet.

I reckon it will be a very tight game and a draw would be a good result for us.

Hopefully we don't slip up v Watford and go top even if it's only for a few hours to put pressure on Citeh.

I remember seeing Bernardo Silva's interview after their last PL game, the draw v Palace and he was visibly rattled and irritated when asked about the title race. Burnley are in dire need of points and you know Dyche will set his team up to frustrate Citeh. We did not play well at Burnley, just scraping a 1 nil win so you never know in a game like this where Citeh will feel under pressure.

I'd rather not think too much on the Citeh v Liverpool game until we get to it because circumstances can change quickly from one game to the next with injuries, bans and even COVID.

Let's just get to the Citeh game in good fettle on and off the pitch, to give ourselves the best possible chance.

we will beat them .. 2-4 .

A.Madrid games either side gonna mess them up. Simone will find a way of knocking them out .

@ Benfica

Alisson

TAA Konate VVD Tsimikas

Thiago, Fab, Jones

Salah, Mane, Diaz

@ Citeh

Alisson

Gomez, Matip, VVD, Robbo

Hendo, Fab, Thiago

Salah, Bobby, Jota

I'd not risk TAA from the start @Citeh because they will target down our right because of his defensive weakness. I thought Gomez has done well when covering RB whilst TAA was out. We are a lot more solid down the right side when Gomez plays there.
I think Bobby's guile in the middle of the 3 up top is the way to go with Salah and Jota coming in from the flank. We have Mane and Diaz to come on with fresh legs later.

We are due a performance and a win at City and I think we will get it. Klopp has almost perfected this squad rotation. Of course it is important not to lose but the opportunity is there to take the title race out of City's hands.

We saw a few years ago City getting 98 points and we got 97 when both teams won their last 7 or 8 games. I can see that happening again. So we must take all 3 points on Sunday.

We still have big games against Utd, spurs, everton so we have to win imo to have a chance of lifting the league. A draw is not good enough as we may drop points in the other games mentioned.

Yesterday Watford had chances to score and once again we laboured in front of goal.


I am very fearful of what City will do if they get that chances in front of goal we allowed Watford and our attack is going to have to up its game if we are to get anything from the game.

A victory and I think we go on to win the title but I think we will do well to get a draw.

I have a feeling this will be a draw and the title will be decided in the last few games

We do have a poor recent record at The Etihaad not having beaten them there in the premier league since 2015 in Klopp's first ever visit.

I just hope whoever are the Referee and VAR official, has the guts to utilize VAR correctly. This is too big a game for the important decisions to be screwed up.

I think we have the mindset advantage, City know a draw is good enough to keep them top/in charge, whereas we know we really need a win to get control, so I can see City being caught in 2 minds, hoping for a win but happy with a draw, whereas we will be going all out to win it.
